Sweet alyssum makes a colorful carpet of tiny flowers that you can use to blanket your garden or landscape. Native to Europe, the low-growing foliage grows quickly, covering the ground with tiny cross-shaped, four-petal flowers within two months of being sown from seed. Its gray-green leaves are slightly hairy, narrow, and lance-shaped.
Easy to grow, sweet alyssum is a cool-season flower that can be set out in early spring once all danger of frost has passed. Most varieties will fade in the heat but bloom again in the fall. Full or Partial sun
