Alyssum plants grow well in full sun to partial shade, and they make a wonderful annual ground cover. This seed mix offers blooms in white and shades of purple and violet. It is low-growing, branching, and has a trailing habit.

Alyssum is easy to grow from flower seeds, and it is dependable and versatile in its many uses. Because Alyssum has a tidy, compact growth habit it is ideal for edging the flower garden, or plant in patio pots, hanging containers and window boxes. Since the pollinators love it so much you might consider planting a cluster or two in the corners of the raise beds.

Alyssum is an old-fashioned favorite. The dainty, spreading plants are covered with clusters of small, sweetly fragrant flowers. Bees love the lavender and white blossoms. Sow the flower seed directly outdoors once danger of frost has passed. Trim to keep fresh blossoms, and to start new shoots, shake flower seeds from older plants directly on the soil to encourage re-seeding.
