Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is a charming, low-growing annual known for its dense clusters of tiny, fragrant white or purple flowers. It blooms continuously from spring to fall, making it a popular choice for garden borders, ground cover, and container planting. Its sweet scent attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Additionally, it acts as a natural pest deterrent, helping to control aphids and other harmful insects. 

It typically grows to a height of 4 to 8 inches, with a spread of about 12 to 18 inches, making it an excellent choice for filling in garden gaps or spilling over the edges of containers. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming. Sweet Alyssum is well-suited to USDA hardiness zones 7-11, and in cooler regions, it can be grown as an annual. It is drought-tolerant once established, and its ability to bloom in cooler weather makes it a favorite for early spring and fall gardens.
