For zones 4-9 Cascade Aubrieta is best grown over winter in pots and then transplanted into your garden after the last frost. They do like cooler weather to germinate so we don't recommend starting them outdoors. As with all perennials they will take a full year to reach full size. Upside to these flowers is their foliage is evergreen during the winter months. These will take full sun to part shade.

Use a non soil potting mix made of 1 part sand and 1 part peat, or a sterilized seed potting mixture, to start your seeds. Sprinkle 5-8 seeds in each pot, or use a tray and sow them in rows 3" apart, and press into soil. Cover lightly with vermiculite as they need light to germinate. Don't oversaturate and water from the bottom of your pot as if your soil mix is too wet they will rot before germinating. We loosely cover our trays or pots with plastic wrap until the seeds start to germinate (don't let the seedlings touch the plastic wrap) and place close to your lighting source. Another technique is to use a deep plastic tupperware type container with a clear lid (be sure and crack your lid to allow some moisture to escape). They are slow to germinate, and while germinating the need lighting but dislike strong direct natural sunlight. Keep you soil temperature around 70 degrees which in winter might require the use of a heating mat, but don't let your seeds get too warm.

Once plants get their second set of leaves you can add a mild fertilizer to their water. In spring, after your last frost, transplant into your garden.
