Description
(Lobularia) If you love Snow Princess™ Lobularia, you will love her sister Blushing Princess®! The beautiful large mound of tiny, fragrant light lavender flowers is as beautiful as its name. Blushing Princess® Lobularia mixes nicely with petunias and other trailing annuals. Blushing Princess® does tend to be very vigorous so use it in moderation when planting your combination planters and hanging baskets. Lobularia attracts butterflies and hummingbirds for your enjoyment! One of our personal favorite ways to use Blushing Princess® is as a mounding ground cover. Beautiful!!! Blushing Princess® is a "heavy drinker" and prefers to be in well-watered soil. In a hanging basket combination you should be prepared to water often, maybe more than once a day during warm weather. We recommend using a large container for your combination, as it will stay hydrated longer. We recommend fertilizing every 2 weeks for containers and hanging baskets during the summer months.
