When it comes to a flower that punches way above its weight class in both scent and function, Sweet Alyssum is the "Garden Workhorse." This heirloom is famous for its low-growing, spreading habit and thousands of tiny, four-petaled blooms that release a warm, honey-like fragrance. At The Seed Guy®, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are planting a legacy of charming garden borders, the breathtaking sight of a "Living White Lace," and the essential support of a thriving, healthy ecosystem.
In the garden, White Sweet Alyssum is a secret weapon for organic growers. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your beneficials on"—acting as one of the best plants for attracting hoverflies, lacewings, and parasitic wasps that prey on garden pests. It is a fantastic companion plant for your vegetable beds or rose gardens, as it stays cool and provides a thick mulch-like cover for the soil.

Sweet Alyssum Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
2. Preparation: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Alyssum isn't picky about soil but prefers it to be well-drained.
3. Sowing: These seeds are tiny! Scatter them on the surface and press them lightly into the soil. Do not cover them deeply, as they need light to sprout.
4. Care: Once established, Alyssum is quite drought-tolerant. If the plants start to look "leggy" or stop blooming in the mid-summer heat, shear them back by half to trigger a fresh flush of flowers.
5. Pests and Diseases: Very few issues. Their thick growth habit helps suppress weeds and keeps the soil cool and moist for neighboring plants.
