Alyssum 1 Gallon

One of the most enduring garden annuals is sweet alyssum. This old-time favorite produces dainty honey-scented flowers throughout the growing season. The mounding or trailing habit is well-suited for containers, hanging baskets and garden beds. A member of the mustard family, sweet alyssum is forgiving of varying soil and light conditions. Native to the Mediterranean, this reliable heirloom overwinters as a short-lived perennial in warmer regions.

Sweet alyssum is a butterfly and insect pollinator magnet, and hummingbirds love it, too. With so much going for it, what’s not to like?
