This alyssum has been phenomenal. I planted it in the Spring, and then was very surprised that it survived our horribly hot summer. It did not look great, but it lived. Now all through the fall and early winter it has gotten huge and gorgeous. It has a wonderful fragrance too. Much much tougher plant than older alyssum varieties.

I purchased one plant end of last summer and took cuttings. I had success keeping some of them in my greenhouse. Though they didn't grow, a couple survived. This spring, i container planted one of them and purchased another.The one i grew from cutting, grew faster and bigger. WHen it got hot, which, this year, it did rather early, i moved it to part shade and it stayed green. When the weather cooled down in September, it began growing again and blooming. I'm hoping to overwinter both plants and use again next year, though i have taken cuttings again, just in case.
2011 my second year using this wonderful accent to my plantings in NW Rocky Mtn region. This fragrant wonderful plant does well in full sun to part shade in my experience. I feed once a week and keep the soil moist. It does shed petals. I have a 8 foot tower of 12" clay pots planted with PW Supertunia's Raspberry blast accented with the Snow Princess. Definately a show stopping display with several people stopping to ask about the Snow Princess. Pictures are available to any who are interested.

This has been an amazing plant here in N. Florida with 20 days below freezing, no problem, blooming non-stop so far since September. Prolific grower reaching 3' out of a hanging basket or a container. Great ground cover. Wonderful sweet scent attracts anything with wings...or noses.

We bought 2 qt pots of 'Snow Princess' by Proven Winners, planted them under a crape myrtle, which provided a delicate, bright spot in a bed with declining daffodils and non-flowering agapanthus. Mid July they began declining resulting in a weedy look. Our early summer has been 95-100 degrees, with lots of rain. PW plant id says 4-6", but ours are 16" tall. Vase shaped, not a trailer.

Relatively new introduction receiving rave reviews. Reportedly very heat tolerant, long blooming. Good for borders and mixed planters. My first year. Caution: My plants were nearly defoliated by small smooth green caterpillars in late May in Texas. About the size and shape of leaves, so hard to spot before damage. Trying hand picking and BT.
