George4tax: Isn't sweet alyssum wonderful. It asks so little and gives so much. I always seem to start it too late and it blooms late here. I'm going to sow seeds earlier this spring. Last spring I started three of the Carpet series.
I love that plant! You can do anything with it... it never dies here, its like a perennial that blooms all year long. All I have to do now and then if I want it to look nice is to trim it back. It reseeds everywhere but isnt weedy. I planted sweet peas in a hanging basket and sweet alyssem came up too even though it hasnt been grown there :) and is now blooming with it. Starved, given no water in the summer, ignored and abused...it still lives and blooms!
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have allysum showing up under large plants, buried. One very green, bushy but bloomless plant I pulled out & tried re-planting it inthe sun & it dried up. Shock maybe? My husband said leave it there & maybe it will reseed itself.
