Fill your garden with soft carpets of color and fragrance using this Alyssum Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. Featuring two beloved heirloom varieties—Royal Carpet (purple) and Carpet of Snow (white)—this mix creates a beautiful contrast of blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Perfect for edging walkways, brightening borders, or spilling gracefully from containers, alyssum offers long-lasting charm from spring through frost.

Fragrant, Fast-Blooming, and Easy to Grow:
Sweet Alyssum has been cherished for generations for its sweet scent, gentle appearance, and ability to thrive in a wide range of garden settings. These compact plants grow just 4–6 inches tall, forming dense mats of color that soften pathways, fill patio planters, and enhance pollinator-friendly spaces. Families appreciate their resilience and quick flowering habit, making them an ideal choice for new and experienced gardeners alike.

Why Customers Love the Alyssum Seed Collection:

• Two complementary heirloom varieties for rich purple and pure white blooms
• Blooms continuously from spring to frost with a sweet, pleasant fragrance
• Quick to flower—just 6–8 weeks from sowing
• Compact and versatile for edging, borders, rock gardens, and containers
• Attracts bees, butterflies, and other helpful pollinators
• Hardy annual for USDA zones 3–9 and naturally reseeds for recurring color

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 6–8 weeks early. In warmer climates (zones 7–10), sow in fall for cool-season color. Provide full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Alyssum is quick to germinate and begins blooming within 6–8 weeks, spreading gently into a low-maintenance groundcover. These hardy plants tolerate light frost and provide steady color and fragrance throughout the growing season.
