I love this plant! Bought a box of seeds for $1 at walmart, sprinkled them in a 6" or 8" wide space on each side of my sidewalk leading to the street. Covered them with just a little dirt. They exploded! Looks like big mounds of snow all down the sidewalk! Beautiful and easy. They do great in the heat and sun.

I liked this alyssum. Like other alyssums I grew, it bloomed sparsely and did not look so hot in the summer, but come Fall it really perked up. It bloomed profusely and had the typical strong, alyssum scent.

I planted this type of alyssum this year and have not been impressed. The plant looks tall & weedy and the flowers have little scent compared to other alyssums. Also, the flowers are even smaller than other alyssums I've grown. I pulled them out and composted them. I'll try a different kind (Snow Crystals) that was recommended by another gardener as the only kind they'll plant.
