Alyssum: A Delightful Carpet of Colour.

Alyssum, often known as sweet alyssum, is a charming, low-growing plant that creates a soft carpet of flowers, perfect for brightening up the edges of borders, rockeries, or paths. With its tiny, clustered blooms in shades of white, pink, and purple, Alyssum brings a light, airy quality to the garden. Its compact form and spreading habit make it ideal for filling gaps or softening hard edges, giving the garden a gentle, cottage-style feel. For those seeking a plant that adds a touch of delicate beauty, Alyssum is a lovely choice that brings softness and colour to any spot.

Hardy and Perfect for Beginners.

Alyssum is as undemanding as it is pretty, making it a superb option for gardeners of all experience levels. This hardy annual thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, handling even poorer soils with ease. Once established, it requires little more than an occasional deadhead to encourage continuous blooming, rewarding with its cheerful flowers from early summer through to autumn. For those who want a dependable, easy-to-grow plant that gives without fuss, Alyssum offers long-lasting impact with minimal effort, flourishing happily in the garden without taking centre stage.

A Friend to Pollinators and Fragrant, Too.

One of Alyssum’s lesser-known virtues is its appeal to pollinators and its sweet fragrance. The small, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, bringing life and movement to the garden. In addition to its ecological value, Alyssum has a delicate, honey-like scent that wafts through the air on warm days, especially when planted in masses. Its fragrance makes it perfect for lining pathways or filling containers near seating areas, where its scent can be appreciated as one strolls or relaxes in the garden.

Seasonal Beauty and Versatile in the Garden.

Alyssum’s low-growing, mat-like habit makes it incredibly versatile. It works beautifully as a ground cover or planted en masse for a blanket of colour, and it’s equally charming spilling over the edges of containers or hanging baskets. Its ability to reseed itself means that, in the right conditions, Alyssum will often return year after year, creating a naturalised effect that enhances the garden’s seasonal rhythm. For gardeners looking to add a touch of effortless charm, Alyssum is a plant that blends beauty, fragrance, and ecological benefits, making it a delightful addition to any garden.
