Snow Princess™Lobulariahybrid
If there’s one new plant that should be on everyone’s list, it’s Snow Princess™, a unique breakthrough in the genus for heat tolerance and extended season performance. This sterile Lobularia is extremely vigorous, and because it puts no energy into setting seed it has an incredibly long bloom time. In fact, in trials in Florida, Snow Princess™ displayed mounds of fragrant, white blooms from January through July. Creates a great hanging basket or window box and is a perfect filler in combinations.

Growing Tips
Snow Princess is a "heavy drinker" and will prefer evenly moist soil. It will be quick to show drought stress, but should bounce back quickly once re-hydrated. In a hanging basket you should be prepared to water often, maybe more than once a day during warm weather. Plants are easier to keep moist when planted in large planters. Due to her water needs Snow Princess is ideal for use in larger planters.

| 2009 | October Plant of the Month | Dallas Arboretum |
| Oh, and it doesn’t die in the heat, either! We planted it in the Dallas Arboretum trial garden in full Texas sun, in the ground and in containers. I was certain that the torrential rains this year, followed by our infernal heat, would wipe it out, but it didn’t. As our Trial motto says, “If we can’t kill it, no one can!” -- and we really tried! - Jimmy Turner | ||

| At this latitude, we think of alyssum as a winter annual which may or may not continue to live through the heat of summer after being planted in the fall of the year. This plant was a beautiful mound of white flowers all summer long despite the blazing heat we had this year. Brent Pemberton | ||
