Scientific Name: Lobularia maritima ‘Royal Carpet’
Lobularia maritima ‘Royal Carpet’, commonly known as purple alyssum, is an annual found along the coast of California and in the San Francisco Bay area. Purple alyssum is a common ornamental plant that can now be found in disturbed coastal dunes, scrub, bluffs, prairies, and riparian areas. It has a long flowering season and appears to have the ability to rapidly colonize suitable habitats. Purple alyssum is native to the Mediterranean Basin and the Macaronesia region: Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde. It is widely naturalized elsewhere in the temperate world, including the United States.
Each wildflower seed packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
