Sweet Alyssum
A hardy annual native to Southern Europe, but has naturalized throughout the United States. Dense clusters of tiny snowwhite flowers bloom continuously throughout the growing season if the spent blossoms are trimmed back. A compact, rapid growing variety which is drought tolerant and heat resistant. Thrives in full sun to partial shade, in almost any soil. Best sown in early spring, seedlings cannot withstand a heavy frost. A seemingly endless parade of blooms.
