Product Description

Grow Alyssum Carpet of Snow plants to create soft mounds of pretty, white flowers with a lovely honey fragrance. Perfect for patio pots or direct in borders, this Alyssum variety flowers profusely, with masses of tiny white blooms, which are a magnet for pollinators. 

Alyssum Carpet of Snow is a compact, low-growing variety, typically reaching 10cm tall and 25cm wide. Honey-scented flowers adorn this plant, and it will happily flower from June right through until September. An ideal low-maintenance plant, once it’s established, it won’t need much looking after - perhaps just a little water if it gets very dry. 

Sow Alyssum flower seeds indoors or under cover in early spring, or direct in pots and borders from April to May. Plant Alyssum in full sun or part-shade, either as an edging plant or in mixed planting schemes. It’s particularly gorgeous planted along paths or in stone walls, where the honey fragrance can be enjoyed most. The pure white flowers of Carpet of Snow work particularly well against blue and purple flowers, or planted underneath Roses. For a wildlife magnet, why not try growing Alyssum Carpet of Snow alongside Lavender for a fragrant display of mauve and white. 

FAQs

Although technically a short-lived perennial, Alyssum is generally grown as a hardy annual. This just means that it’s unlikely to survive the winter outdoors and usually won’t come back each year. Alyssum Carpet of Snow is easy to grow from seed. It will happily flower across the whole summer, dying back over winter, giving you a new opportunity to fill the gaps it leaves with spring bulbs to extend your garden or patio’s season of interest.

Alyssum Carpet of Snow will spread to form a soft mound of flowers, around 10cm tall and 25-30cm wide. Grown as an annual, it will rapidly fill gaps in borders without becoming a nuisance and smothering other plants. It looks really effective tumbling down walls or spilling over pots, giving a floriferous look for very little effort.

Alyssum Carpet of Snow is very easy to grow from seed - simply sow indoors or under cover from February to March in a seed tray or pots of peat-free compost. Alternatively, sow it directly into pots and borders after the last frost, around April to May. 

Planted in full sun, Carpet of Snow should flower all summer long; however, if the plants start to look a little tired towards the middle or end of summer, simply deadhead to encourage a flush of new flowers.
