Nothing adds more delight to summer days than the gentle fragrance of sweet alyssum. A wonderful annual ground cover, alyssum blooms all growing season, withstands drought and heat, and is an ideal rock garden plant. Alyssum graces containers and planters by hanging over their edges, and to top it off, it is very easy to grow! Edible flowers have a mild, grassy/mustardy flavor; the clusters make a charming garnish to salads and desserts.

    You will never get disappointed by alyssums. They are the best early spring edge plants.

    These little beauties have brought the right pollinators to my desert garden. Planted them close to my tomatillos which are receiving the love too! Cannot recommend enough
