Alyssum

It's nice to think that the first Alyssum plant came here with a bagged rose from my old garden. It's a perfect plant for dry areas like in the gravel by the Stables seat. I enjoy their white flowers which turn up in the driveway and in paving cracks on the front path.

One year I tried growing a purply variety from seed. They grew, but no purple seedlings resulted. I plan to try again next spring, and I know there are also rose coloured seeds available.
