Growing at a glance…
Ensure aubretia has plenty of access to sun and dry conditions. Preferably, this would be on a wall or in a container - somewhere so they can cascade down and impress! Ensure they have plenty of drainage, especially in containers. Dress a container with large pebbles at the bottom, then fill with a 50/50 mix of grit and compost. These plants will tolerate moist conditions but not wet ones, so take that into consideration when planting.
