Detailed Description

Alyssum Snow Cloth is a much-loved hardy annual known for its profuse clusters of small, honey-scented flowers. The dwarf, bushy plants quickly form a compact mound that becomes completely smothered in bright white blooms, making them particularly effective in mass planting or as a soft edging around beds and pathways. Their fragrance makes them especially appealing when planted near seating areas, patios, or doorways where the sweet scent can be fully enjoyed.

This variety is also highly attractive to pollinators, drawing bees and butterflies throughout the summer months. Its versatility allows it to thrive in beds, rockeries, hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers, and it pairs beautifully with vibrant bedding plants for striking colour contrasts. Easy to grow from seed and requiring very little upkeep, Alyssum Snow Cloth is a reliable favourite for gardeners of all skill levels.
