Carpet of Snow Sweet Alyssum

Carpet of Snow Sweet Alyssum grows an enchanting dense carpet of tiny, fragrant white flowers that blanket the ground, reaching a height of 3-6 inches and spreading 12-18 inches wide. This low-growing mat-forming annual grows naturally in the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and Azores where it originates, typically found along coastlines in rocky, sunlit regions. Carpet of Snow makes an attractive and low-maintenance ground cover or border for rock gardens, yard fronts, containers, and tranquil spaces. To enjoy its beauty, simply sow the seeds directly into the garden after the last frost, and watch as it quickly fills in with lush, fragrant blooms. The tiny flowers of Sweet Alyssum are also edible and makes for a elegant garnish.
