Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia Maritima - Benthamii) - What wonderful, honey-scented lacy white flowers that bloom quickly from flower seed sown outside in early spring. The dense clusters of tiny snow-white flowers bloom continuously throughout the growing season if the spent blossoms are trimmed back. A compact, rapid growing variety which is drought tolerant and heat resistant. Lobularia Maritima thrives in full sun to partial shade and in almost any soil. For the best performance, Alyssum flower seed should be sown in early spring when temperatures are warming. Seedlings cannot withstand a heavy frost. In warmer climates, Sweet alyssum flower seed will self-sow year after year.
