The common name of a member of the genus Aubrieta of spring-flowering dwarf perennial plants belonging to the family Cruciferæ, of trailing habit, bearing flowers of various shades of purple, grown as a rock plant or garden edging. ‘Aubrieta is the original spelling of the generic name but the form Aubrietia has been so generally used that it has come into common speech and we retain that form as the common name’ (Royal Hort.
