Sweet Alyssum

Alyssum, also known as Sweet Alyssum, is a trustworthy annual that can grace your garden with its presence for nearly a year, Alyssum is not just a plant. It's a performance of nature, ready to dance through the seasons with you!


Uses in the Garden


Alyssum is incredibly versatile. Use it to edge borders, fill in gaps in your garden beds, or let it spill gracefully from containers and hanging baskets. It's also an excellent choice for attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it not only a beautiful addition but an environmentally supportive one as well!



Care and Maintenance Tips

Caring for your Sweet Alyssum is a breeze. Plant it in the fall for a display that lasts well into the following year. This variety prefers well-drained soil and will need regular watering, especially during dry spells. However, be careful not to overwater, as it dislikes soggy feet. Deadheading is unnecessary for this self-cleaning variety, but feel free to trim it back if it becomes too leggy. This little plant is not only low-maintenance but also resistant to deer, making it a hassle-free addition to your garden.
