"These are a slightly taller variety than ones I purchase from garden center. They mix very well with all kinds of flowers in the garden: petunias, zinnias, begonias, verbena, portulaca, even the shorter alyssum, and also hosta, azaleas. They really do look like big snowy mounds, which is very refreshing in the summer. It has been dry and hot now that August is here yet they continue to bloom away. They are great anywhere there is a bare spot! I sprouted mine in early spring inside and moved them to a sunny window for a short time, then outside in the trays to harden them up, then into the garden."

"Alyssum Carpet of Snow is carefree and a plant I can't resist. I just roughed up the soil a little, sprinkled the seeds in my lily garden & stood back. It was a little sparse the first spring, but doubled by self-seeding in the fall. Now 2 (or is it 3?) years later, it's spread from my lilies into my lavender plants and adds its intoxicating honey smell to the rich lavender fragrance. If it spreads somewhere you don't want it, it's easy to just yank up a handful & keep it in control. It self-seeds readily, so I haven't needed to buy more. Hope you enjoy as much as I have!"
