Aliso de mar
Lobularia maritima
Una planta rastrera de porte bajo, perteneciente a la familia de las mostazas, originaria de la costa mediterránea y cultivada prácticamente en todas partes como anual de estación fresca por sus densas matas de diminutas flores blancas de cuatro pétalos y suave fragancia. La floración es tan abundante que a menudo oculta por completo el follaje verde grisáceo. Prospera con el fresco, tolera suelos secos y la sequía, y es una fuente confiable de néctar para pequeños polinizadores.

2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
