Aubretia 
AUBRIETIA — one of the most essential 
plants for the alpine garden or rock 
walls. At their best when placed to cover 
the face of a rock, or fall from a crevice 
of a rock wall. Will grow anywhere and 
with proper treatment (shearing back as 
soon as through blooming) will flower 
from early spring throughout the sum¬ 
mer. Also used extensively as cover for 
Tulip beds.
