Latin Name: Lobularia maritima ‘Sweetness’ 

The Lobularia ‘Sweetness’ is a fragrant, compact annual prized for its honey-scented blooms and long flowering season. Growing 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) tall with a spread of 12 inches (30 cm), it’s ideal for borders, rock gardens, and containers.

This improved cultivar produces dense clusters of tiny white, pink, or purple flowers that smell like fresh honey, blooming spring to frost without deadheading. Its fine, gray-green foliage forms a low mat, offering texture even when not in bloom.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established but blooms best with consistent moisture. Deer-resistant and pollinator-friendly, attracting bees and butterflies.

Perfect for cottage gardens or pathways, pair with purple alyssum, blue lobelia, or yellow marigolds.
