Alyssum, Royal Carpet

Fragrant purple blooms blanket the gray-green foliage twice a season. Ideal for edging, groundcover, mass planting, and containers, it is the earliest alyssum yet, a frost-tolerant pollinator magnet. Shear back as the first flowers pass to encourage rebloom. Delightfully fragrant flowers bloom all summer long on this hardy annual. The deep purple color of this alyssum is an easy to grow flower that contrasts pleasingly with Alyssum Carpet of Snow.
