Notes
'Snow Princess' sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima 'Snow Princess') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Its white flowers are fragrant and appear in spring, summer, and autumn. The cascading stems spill over the edge of a pot or bed, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Signet marigold, Red fescue, and Love-Lies-Bleeding amaranthus.
