Low-growing Alyssum is a snowy ground cover at the front of the border or cascading over the side of a container. It will reseed itself and pop up next year to delight you in an unexpected spot.
Our favorite use of low-growing alyssum is as a flower carpet, as a ground cover that’s particularly charming between dry-laid pavers.
Sweet alyssum’s delicate clusters of flowers are usually white; purple (‘Royal Carpet’), blue (‘Wonderland Blue’), and dusty pink (‘Aphrodite Salmon’) varieties are also available. Equally at home in a planter or pot, alyssum will spill over the side like a fluffy waterfall. In a garden bed, leave spent blooms in place so alyssum, an annual, can reseed itself and pop up next year in unexpected spots.
