Care tips

Prune Aubrieta ‘Glacier Blue’ back heavily immediately after flowering to maintain a compact shape. Water only during prolonged dry spells, and sprinkle a small amount of lime and fertilizer in the spring. Always ensure the soil is well-drained so the roots do not become waterlogged in the winter.
