Description

Lobularia maritima Primavera Princess is a very recent variety. Also known as Sweet Alyssum, it produces a profusion of spheres of white flowers that are fragrant throughout the summer, lasting until the first frost. Derived from the Snow Princess variety, Primavera Princess closely resembles it, but has the additional feature of variegated green and gold foliage.

Lobularia looks equally beautiful trailing along a border or cascading from a hanging basket.

It pairs well in hanging baskets with petunias, surfinias, or calibrachoas. We particularly like it combined with the bicoloured variety of Petunia Cabernet.

Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered place (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.
