Lobularia White 4"

Lobularia (4 Inch)

Soft, fragrant, and endlessly sweet—Lobularia adds a delicate touch to gardens and containers with its small-town charm.

Our 4 Inch Lobularia, commonly known as Alyssum, is a lovely, low-growing annual that blooms in soft, fragrant clouds of white, pink, or purple flowers. Whether nestled in hanging baskets, window boxes, or the edges of flower beds, Lobularia is the kind of plant that wraps your garden in a gentle, sweet aroma while offering a gentle pop of color. It’s the perfect companion for those who appreciate simple beauty and the subtle joy of a garden that smells as good as it looks.

🌿 A Bit of History & Meaning

Lobularia, also known as Sweet Alyssum, comes from the Mediterranean and has long been loved for its hardy nature and fragrant flowers. The name “Alyssum” comes from the Greek word for “without madness,” referencing its soothing qualities. A symbol of sweetness, simplicity, and purity, Lobularia is a flower that brightens any space without being too flashy—just like a kind neighbor who always offers a warm smile.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

This petite beauty loves full sun to part shade, thriving in well-drained soil with regular moisture. At just 4 inches tall, Lobularia is a perfect filler plant for flower beds, containers, or hanging baskets, where it will cascade over edges with ease. It’s a great plant for summer-long color in both cooler and warmer climates.

🌱 Care Instructions

• Water: Keep evenly moist, especially in containers

• Sunlight: Full sun to part shade

• Soil: Well-drained, slightly sandy soil

• Maintenance: Pinch back spent blooms to encourage more flowers

You’ll enjoy a continuous show of blooms all season, attracting bees, butterflies, and the occasional hummingbird, who are drawn to its sweet fragrance.
