Only got one picture of this plant I lost years ago, I got it from a nursery but it came without label.

I have been searching on the web but all the species have these elongated flower petals on the outer side. Mine seems to have the flower petals all equally sized.
there was one though that comes close, I thought maybe Iberis simplex (synonym: Iberis taurica) ?

The pink-mauve color suggests iberis gibralter to me.

Was it an annual or a perennial?

Thank you all for the responses!
I'm not sure Lori if mine was an annual, but it didn't grew back the following year..

Is Iberis gibralter an annual? have to Google this species..

Iberis gibraltarica is a perennial shrub.

Her photo doesn't appear to be a shrub so not I. gibraltarica then.

I'd say what you have there is alyssum, Lobularia maritima.

(A "shrub" just refers to a perennial plant with woody stems.)

Maybe this is Alyssum?

I spent so long searching I see that has been suggested!

Alyssum Clear Crystal?

I think you're correct, Janet. The flowers do look more like Alyssum ... perhaps a mix of three colors?

And from her description, it behaved like an annual.

Yes, I know what a shrub is. But thanks anyway, Lori.

Tee, see my post above, it looks like Alyssum Clear Crystal Mix.

Oh yes, I see that post now, Janet Sometimes I'm a little slow. To me, that looks like it.

Sorry. I meant to point out for the benefit of others that one can't tell a "shrub" simply by looking at it... it's not a habit, it's a characteristic of the perennial nature of the plant.

Yes, it's woody.

You won't believe me but I just found it in a plant catalog send to me a few days ago and seeing the picture I thought that must be the genus of my plant seeing the equally sized flower petals.
No wonder i didn't find it with Iberis!

Thank you all so much; much appreciated! Janet it is undoubtedly Alyssum Clear Crystal Mix!!
