Lobularia maritima
White mounds of flowers bloom early and all summer long through the first few frosts in fall. Shallow flowers are very attractive to a diversity of pollinators and beneficial insects. We love to use it as a light fluffy substitute for baby's breath in flower arrangements. Readily self-sows without becoming weedy so plant it once and enjoy it forever!
