Sweet alyssum is a wonderful cool-season annual that seems to bloom its head off in mild spring weather. This plant has been a long-time favorite because of its dainty blossoms on tight mounds of foliage. These plants work great as landscape edging plants in the garden and even in containers. Plant them in masses to create an abundance of its light honey fragrance. Sweet alyssums are great for attracting pollinators and butterflies to your garden.
