Summer Livin’ Lobularia Princess These Lobularia are like no others that have come before them. They outperform seed raised varieties by miles. Being sterile, they are extremely vigorous, and because they put no energy into setting seed they have an incredibly long bloom time. They create a great hanging basket or window box and are a perfect filler in combinations. In addition they have a delicious honey scent, and we have even found them to be hardy in our trials in very well drained situations in the garden. ‘Primavera Princess’ has variegated foliage that is proving to be very on trend at the moment, and ‘Princess in Purple’ produces airy clouds of flowers to create a purple haze in a pot or basket.
