Lobularia Spp. Purple

Common Name: Purple Alyssum

Description:
Lobularia spp. 'Purple' is a fast-growing, low-maintenance ground cover known for its profuse clusters of small, fragrant purple flowers that bloom from spring through autumn. This hardy annual or short-lived perennial forms a dense mat of fine green foliage, making it perfect for borders, edging, rockeries, and containers. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, Purple Alyssum adds colour and fragrance to any garden. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal care and will self-seed in ideal conditions, providing continuous blooms throughout the warmer months.
