Alyssum - Clear Crystal White (Lobularia maritima) Crystal Clear White Sweet Alyssum Flower Seeds

Annual
Height 3 in

Alyssum is a classic favourite herbaceous plant in the mustard family (Brassicaeae), and is a low growing flower species native to the Mediterranean and Canary Islands, known to thrive where other flowers struggle. Plants are just as popularly grown indoors as they are outdoors and may reseed in optimal climates.

Commonly known as Alyssum or Sweet Alyssum, the common name refers to the genus in which it was formerly classified. Sweet Alyssum is one the earliest and most fragrant blooms available. Perfect for rockeries and rock gardens; bears white colored flowers - just like new fallen snow; the tiny flowers blanket these 6 inch plants very quickly. One plant can grow a foot wide in a couple of months. Great for containers, and is a good self seeder.
