Know before you buy
This variety thrives in sun to part shade. For the most prolific flowering, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Lobularia Lavender Stream is grown as an annual. It is designed to provide continuous color from early summer through the first frost, but it will not return the following year in most climates.
Space your plants 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for their mounding habit to fill in effectively without overcrowding, which helps maintain good airflow.
One of the best features of this variety is its self-cleaning nature. It produces continuous blooms from June through September without the need for manual deadheading.
Yes, its mounding and cascading habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets. It will quickly grow to spill over the edges, creating a soft, fragrant display.
