Alyssum (Lobularia Maritima Violet Queen) - Alyssum plants are wonderful for the front of the flower border or spilling out of containers. Starting flower seeds is a great way to have as many plants as you want! Violet Queen Alyssum has numerous rich violet-purple, fragrant flowers that can bloom all summer long. It grows to approximately 6 inches tall, and even though this flowering plant is an annual, it is a prolific re-seeder. Alyssum seeds often germinate the next spring and provide some plants for the following growing season.
Lobularia Maritima is an excellent choice for edging flower bed borders, containers and xeriscape landscaping. Alyssum seeds need to be planted in a prepared seedbed with well-draining soil. Soggy soil can rot the tender roots of this plant as these plants are resistant to drought so they do not need a lot of water.
