Lobularia maritima 'Violet Queen'

 Latin: Lobularia maritima 'Violet Queen'
Swedish: Strandkrassing 'Violet Queen'
English: Sweet Alyssum 'Violet Queen'

Got this idea that we need to purchase flowers that can fit among others in rockeries. Our rockery is still not half way to being "plantable" but we need to make sure it will be very soon otherwise there will be a whole deal of sad flowers around here. Or they will end as all other flowers we purchased too early for the rockery. They dried out before they could be planted outside. But I believe it won't happen this once...

Producer's description
It gives a lot of small violet flowers with an inviting perfume. It can be used to cover the ground. It is ideal for borders and rockeries. This is a picture I downloaded from the producer:

Producer's Instructions
It should be cultivated indoors March to April or it can be sown directly outdoors as soon as the soil is not frozen any longer. Can be planted outside when the night temperature is above 0.

Sowing: March to May
Growing time: 5-15 days
