More About Lobularia ‘Easy Breezy™ White’

Lobularia ‘Easy Breezy™ White’ delivers crisp white flower clusters with a soft, honey-like fragrance, providing a fresh, clean look in containers and garden beds. Unlike traditional sweet alyssum that struggles once temperatures rise, this variety was bred for significantly improved heat tolerance, allowing it to bloom well beyond spring. The plant forms a tidy mound with gentle trailing at the edges, making it ideal for edging, mixed containers, and filling gaps between larger plants.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Easy Breezy™ White’ has been one of the most dependable alyssum varieties we grow. It transitions smoothly from cool spring conditions into warmer weather without shutting down, maintaining consistent bloom and clean growth.

We especially appreciate its versatility. The white blooms brighten any color combination, pair effortlessly with bold or pastel palettes, and provide subtle fragrance near walkways and seating areas.

Easy Breezy™ White vs. Other Lobularia

‘Easy Breezy™ White’ is the most versatile option within the Easy Breezy™ Series, offering bright white blooms paired with the same vigorous, trailing habit as its purple counterpart. Compared to Easy Breezy™ Purple, it feels lighter and more expansive, making it especially effective for softening container edges. Both varieties excel at fast coverage and season-long performance.

Compared to Yolo White, Easy Breezy™ White is far more aggressive and better suited for spilling rather than edging. Against Stream™ Compact White, it trades precision for movement and fullness. As a white alyssum, it’s ideal for high-impact containers. Gardeners love Easy Breezy™ White for its ability to overflow pots and baskets with minimal effort.
