Aubrieta deltoidea is a low-growing, evergreen perennial flowering plant in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). It forms a mat of small, grey-green, slightly hairy, obovate to spathulate leaves, typically 1-3 cm long. The flowers are small, about 1 cm across, with four petals and come in shades of purple, lilac, pink, or occasionally white. The plant typically blooms profusely in spring, creating a carpet of color. The fruit is a silique, a type of dry capsule that splits open to release the seeds. Aubrieta is native to southeastern Europe and Turkey and thrives in well-drained, alkaline soils.
