Sweet Alyssum, Carpet of Snow – One of our favorites for attracting and supporting beneficial insects like the hoverfly who preys on aphids. Plus the bounty of petite, dense flowers that bloom all season long is outstanding. We use these alongside dahlias and at the edges of rows, in containers, and at the understory of shrubs like Fairy Roses.

Planting: Sun/Part Shade; Plant 6-8” apart in average, well-drained soil. Flowering may slow down in later summer. I cut them back by ½ and they will rebloom

Height: 8-16”

Harvest: Edible flowers, harvest once the flowers are open
