White Sweet Alyssum is a compact, low-growing plant that produces abundant clusters of tiny, pure-white flowers above soft grey-green foliage. Its gently spreading habit creates a delicate flowering carpet, making it ideal for borders, pathway edging, rock gardens, pots and hanging baskets.
The honey-scented flowers provide an extended seasonal display and attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Easy to establish and rewarding to grow, White Sweet Alyssum is an excellent choice for customers seeking fragrant, reliable colour that complements virtually any garden design.
