Alysse odorante
Lobularia maritima
Un membre rampant et couvre-sol de la famille des moutardes, originaire du littoral méditerranéen, cultivé presque partout comme annuelle de saison fraîche pour ses denses touffes de petites fleurs blanches à quatre pétales, délicieusement parfumées. La floraison est si abondante qu'elle dissimule souvent entièrement le feuillage vert-grisâtre. Elle prospère par temps frais, tolère les sols secs et la sécheresse, et constitue une source de nectar fiable pour les petits pollinisateurs.

Cold hardiness
Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.

Well-suited
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.
