Why is my aubrieta dying

Aubretia is a low-growing, evergreen perennial which forms a mat of flowers and is good for the front of a border or better still, tumbling down a wall. 

Aubretia is fully hardy and flowers best in a sunny spot, but it will grow in semishade.  Aubretia prefers well-drained soil and will tolerate dry growing conditions, which is why it is so well suited to being planted in walls and rockeries.

It requires just a little maintenance and is trouble free.  

 Despite not being scented, Aubrieta still appeals to bees and continues to flower for a long time.

Aubretia flowers are in shades of light blue, mauve and pink and some varieties have variegated foliage, all are low-growing, small plants. 

Although a very simple and common garden plant, it is a lovely sight in spring to see a well established Aubrieta trailing over a wall a mass of blue, purple and pink; Aubretia looks pretty and makes a  cheerful splash of colour.

It is easy to get cuttings from Aubretia.

Often they send out little plantlets around them and you can pot
