No not really a weed its a garden rockery plant and its wild form is mediterranean , you should be able to buy it at any garden centre is pretty common, thing is Aubrisa is a annual flowering plant that comes up early spring and basically dies back come high summer lots of watering will keep it fresh a little longer though

If you get the alpine campanula, it spreads just like Aubresia but later so you have another
flowering flower when Aubresia finishes. A lovely blue flower too.
