Malcolmia maritima is a pretty low growing annual with colourful scented flowers.
The leaves are elliptical in shape and green-grey in colour.
The flowers are small, fragrant in white, red, mauve and pink. They are borne in terminal racemes so when planted together give a dense splash of colour. They also have a long flowering season from late spring to early autumn.
They can flower very quickly from seeding - so plant out throughout the season for a continuing display.
Great for path edging, rockeries and combining with other plant in tubs and planters. They self seed easily.
