White Sweet alyssum makes a low, honey‑scented carpet that softens stone edges, spills from planters, and draws in hoverflies and bees that help patrol aphids. Tiny white clusters keep coming if you shear lightly after a heavy flush. Long grown in Mediterranean gardens, alyssum has been used in folk remedies for calming teas, but most gardeners prize it as a fragrant living mulch that hides bare soil. Scatter seed where you want quick cover, or tuck it between stepping stones—either way you’ll get perfume, pollinators, and a cleaner line without much work.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 3-5 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Sow several seeds per pot and cover soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Harden
Off and transplant to the garden after your average last
Frost date. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. For warmer climates, sow mid-summer to late-winter for blooms lasting until summer of following year. Excellent for
Attracting pollinators and beneficial insects. Suitable for
Container growing. Perennial in zones 9-11.
