Carpet Of Snow Alyssum Seeds

About- Carpet of Snow Alyssum is an heirloom favorite for edging flower beds and window boxes due to its low-maintenance, ground cover-like habit and pure white, fragrant flowers. It grows 4-5" high while blooming all summer long and is resistant to deer. This easy to grow plant makes a great addition to any garden.

When and Where to Plant- Alyssum seeds require light to germinate, take care not to cover with more than 1/8" of soil. Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost or sow outdoors after danger of frost. Plant in a location with well-draining soil that receives 8+ hours of direct sun light.
