Product Details
Nothing adds more delight to summer days than the gentle fragrance of sweet alyssum. 'Tiny Tim' is compact and always covered with flowers. A wonderful ground cover, it blooms all growing season with no need to shear back at any time. Alyssum withstands drought and heat, while attracting pollinators. It is an ideal rock garden plant, and gracefully spills over edges of containers. Edible flowers have a mild, grassy/mustardy flavor; the clusters make a charming garnish to salads and desserts.

I've had such great luck with Botanical Interest seeds! The Alyssum does so well. It just takes off and lasts forever. I love to plant at the edge of beds and the base of larger plants.

Gorgeous flowers. You get a waft of honey and slight jasmine when you walk past it. Scent is stronger when you get a giant clump of flowers like this.

Instead of searching around for seeds a little bit later in the spring, I decided to use your website. I was happy with my purchase.

Sowed heavily around some squash as a green mulch and syrphid attractant - worked beautifully in that regard. My only regret is not sowing this in many more areas.
