Lobularia maritima
Features:
-Annual
-Heirloom
-White flowers
-Attracts pollinators & ladybugs (natural predator to aphids)
-Recommended for outdoor growing in a container or in the ground
-Comes in a biodegradable pot
We grow our plants from seed, start them indoors, and move them outside to the shade to acclimate to the weather.
To transplant, dig a hole a bit larger than the biodegradable pot, tear the pot in a few places, and bury the the root ball (including the pot) in the hole. You may also choose to add a bit of compost or worm castings into the hole before adding the plant. Water in thoroughly.

Variety description from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange:
"Low, spreading mounds with sweetly fragrant tiny white flowers in clusters. Often blooms so thickly as to completely hide the foliage! Long-blooming, especially if spent blooms are cut back. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Great for undersowing, planting between paving stones, or as a ground cover."
