Lobularia maritima, commonly known as sweet alyssum or sweet alison, is a species of low-growing flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean Basin and the Macaronesia region, and is widely naturalized elsewhere in the temperate world. It is an annual plant (rarely a short-lived perennial plant) growing to 5–30 cm (2–12 in) tall by 20–30 cm (8–12 in) broad, with dense clusters of small flowers. The flowers are about 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter, sweet-smelling, with four white rounded petals (or pink, rose-red, violet. yellow and lilac) and four sepals. The plant is cultivated in gardens, with many horticultural varieties with purple or pink flowers. It is best planted in early spring, but requires little maintenance when growing. It prefers partial shade, and is resistant to heat and drought. The petals, leaves, and tender stems of the plant can be eaten raw or cooked.
