Sweet Alyssum 'Royal Carpet' flowers are very fragrant and attractinsects like butterflies and bees. Because of its low growth whichresembles a "vibrant violet blue royal carpet", the plant is oftenutilized in rock gardens and hides the stocks and roots of neighboringplants. This is a great plant for rockery and edging. Although SweetAlyssum reseeds very easily, many gardeners still cut back theplantings after first bloom to encourage a second flush of bloom. Theywill ususally be back in bloom in one or two weeks. In milder climatesit can bloom year-round. We recommend sowing in early Spring or afterthe last frost if in Zones 1-6 and sow in both early Spring as well asFall if in Zones 7-11 (reference USDA Plant Hardiness Map). Tip: sincethe seeds are so small it is recommended that one mixes sand to moreevenly broadcast/spread these seeds.
