Description
Alyssum is a low growing annual that is known for its carpet of sweet smelling white, violet or purple colored flowers. It grows and flowers best during the coolest parts of the summer in New England, but in northern and coastal areas can be in flower all summer long. The narrow hairy leaves are inconspicuous when alyssum is in full flower. Bees, butterflies and other insects love alyssum making it a good plant in a pollinator garden. In my garden it will self-sow readily and become a permanent fixture each year. Common name: Sweet alyssum Color: Varieties come in different shades of White, purple and pink, varying heights and spreads, some with double flowers (on varieties that florists use) and some with larger flowers. Bloom time: Blooms all summer in colors of white, lavender or pink Height: 4 to 6 inches x 6 to 12 inches
