Sweetly fragrant, colorful plants are star garden performers! Alluring, pastel shades of tiny flowers are massed on low, compact mounds. Fanciful along the front of your flowerbed, on the edge of a border, here and there in a rock garden, or in containers. The mild-clove-flavored petals make a colorful garnish to salads, desserts, and cold drinks. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.)

    I'm in zone 9b in CA. I planted about 8 of these and some have still not begun to bloom that are in the sahdier areas, but the ones that have bloomed are very pretty. I have gotten the various purplish pinks and white, hoping I'll get at least one yellow! I started these seeds in mid-January (indoors in seed trays) and they bloomed shortly after being transplanted the last week of March. I have found they do indeed grow well in part shade to full sun, and I have planted them in grow bags, a raised bed, and a Greenstalk Garden tower successfully. I believe these will need some level of shade in the summer, so thats why I have planted them in various conditions. Great germination, great product as always, very happy with it. Botanical Interests is my go to for seeds!

    P.S. I love a flower that I don't have to thin while in seed trays. I find that to be a great, overlooked feature of Alyssum. Less maintenance than starting other flowers from seed. No heat mat necessary either, and they can do well unprotected in overnight 35-40°F weather in my experience.

    Good germination and beautiful explosive growth as others have mentioned. I sprinkled seeds in a winter sowing milk jug and then just tore clumps off to plant around my yard. Also like other reviewers, I only got white and purple. No pinks or yellows unfortunately.

    I have had much success with Botanical Interests seeds. I love the seed packets and illustrations. Top quality seeds with high germination and varied cultivars.
