Technical details:
Botanical name: Lobularia maritima 'Carpet of Snow' (syn. Alyssum maritimum)
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected and packaged.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: A fast-growing annual with a prostrate, ground-covering habit. It flowers profusely from late spring to autumn.
Plant height: It generally reaches a modest height of 10-15 cm, making it ideal for hedging and low borders.
Uses: Excellent for creating flower borders, ground cover in flowerbeds, adorning rockeries, filling pots and planters, or as a decorative element for balconies and terraces. It also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Organoleptic aspects: It produces a multitude of small, intensely scented white flowers, which give off a pleasant sweet, honey-like aroma, contributing to a complete sensory experience in your garden.
Hardiness and Origin: A robust plant, it tolerates a variety of climates well once established, preferring temperate climates. It does not tolerate intense frost. It is native to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean.
Sowing time: Direct sowing in open ground is recommended from March to May, after the last frosts, or in an early seedbed. In mild climates, sowing can also be done in autumn for earlier flowering.
Flowering period: From June to October, with prolonged and continuous flowering that extends throughout the summer and until the first cold autumn days.
Optimal conditions for germination: Seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 15°C and 20°C. A light covering of the seeds or simply pressing them into the soil is sufficient, as they require light to germinate.
Soil type: Prefers well-drained, light, and medium-fertile soil. It also adapts to poor soils, as long as they are not excessively clayey or compacted. Ideal pH: neutral or slightly alkaline.
Recommended location: For the most abundant and compact flowering, place in full sun. It will also tolerate partial shade, but with less intense flowering.
Germination time: Generally the first sprouts appear within 7-14 days of sowing, depending on environmental conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: Its compact, ground-covering nature makes it versatile and suitable for both open-ground cultivation, for borders or flowerbeds, and in pots, planters, and hanging baskets.
