Lobularia 'Violet Knight®'

Sweet Alyssum

Plant Type: Annual

This variety of Lobularia produces light purple clusters of blooms that cover the entire plant and emit a sweet honey-like fragrance. As such, it is a great contender for hanging baskets or containers on patios or porches where the scent can be enjoyed. It also functions well in the landscape in beds, borders, mass plantings and even as a groundcover. It does require evenly moist soil and full to partial sun in order to look its best. The flowers are self-cleaning and do not require any deadheading and will continue blooming all the way up until frost.
