{"product_id":"lobularia-maritima-white-stream","title":"White Stream Sweet Alyssum","description":"\u003cp\u003eLobularia maritima 'White Stream' (Lobularia maritima 'White Stream') is a beautifully fragrant, prolific, and irresistibly charming sweet alyssum that produces a virtually uninterrupted cascade of tiny, pristine white flowers in such generous, dense abundance that the fine-textured, silver-green foliage beneath disappears entirely beneath a honeyed, snow-white carpet of bloom from planting through the first frost. Sweet alyssum has been treasured in gardens for centuries for precisely the qualities that 'White Stream' exemplifies so fully — a clean, luminous white that brightens every surrounding color, a pervasive, sweet, honey-like fragrance released continuously throughout the day and evening, and a freely spreading, ground-hugging habit that fills pathways, container edges, and border gaps with naturalistic, effortless grace. 'White Stream' is a particularly vigorous and heat-tolerant selection that maintains its prolific bloom performance through the warmest months of the growing season with admirable consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis professional-grade 4\" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to spread and establish quickly into its characteristic low, fragrant, freely flowering mat. 'White Stream' excels as a fragrant, weed-suppressing edging plant along sunny pathways and border margins, as a cascading spiller in containers and hanging baskets, as a gap-filling ground cover in mixed annual and perennial beds, and as a naturalistic underplanting for taller border companions where its honey-scented white carpet provides a soft, fragrant, low-growing base layer of continuous color and sensory richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDense, Honey-Scented White Flower Carpet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiny, pristine white flowers produced in such prolific, continuous abundance that they form a virtually solid carpet of honey-scented white — a fragrant, luminous, season-long display that combines freely spreading ground-cover coverage with a pervasive, sweet fragrance that perfumes pathways, borders, and outdoor spaces throughout the day and evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePervasive Sweet Honey Fragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The famous, beloved sweet honey-like scent of alyssum is released continuously throughout the day and into the evening — one of the most universally appreciated and accessible garden fragrances available, transforming sunny borders, patio edges, and pathway margins into a daily sensory pleasure from late spring through frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVigorous Heat-Tolerant Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e A particularly heat-tolerant 'White Stream' selection that maintains prolific white bloom through the warmest months with greater consistency than many standard alyssum varieties — continuing its fragrant white carpet display during the peak summer heat when less vigorous selections may slow their flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Edging, Spiller \u0026amp; Gap-Filler:\u003c\/strong\u003e The low, freely spreading habit adapts beautifully to multiple garden roles — pathway edging, container spillover, hanging basket trailer, paving gap filler, and naturalistic border underplanting — making 'White Stream' one of the most practically versatile and consistently useful low-growing annuals available for the warm-season garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeneficial Insect Magnet:\u003c\/strong\u003e The densely produced, honey-scented white flowers are a rich, accessible nectar source that attracts hoverflies, parasitic wasps, native bees, and butterflies in impressive numbers — making 'White Stream' one of the most ecologically valuable flowering annuals for the garden, supporting beneficial insect populations that naturally control pest species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese 4\" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, average to lean soil and moderate moisture; avoid overly rich, fertile conditions that promote excessive leafy growth at the expense of prolific fragrant bloom.
