Lobularia, 'Sweet Alyssum'

Lobularia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, comprising five species native to the Mediterranean region and Macaronesia. These plants typically grow to a height of 10-40 cm and feature hairy oblong-oval leaves and clusters of fragrant flowers. The genus is known for its small pod-like fruits, which are derived from the name "lobularia" in Greek. Lobularia maritima, commonly known as Sweet Alyssum, is particularly popular in gardens for its attractive flowers and is often used as an edging plant or ground cover.
