Alyssum-Carpet Of Snow
'Lobularia maritima'
Outstanding, quick flowering, low border annual. Old-fashioned sweet, honey-like fragrance and delicate beauty. Early-blooming plants blanket the ground with thimble-shaped clusters of pure-white blossoms all season. Low spreading compact plants, 4-6 inches high, and 12-15 inches across, are densely covered with sweetly-scented, white flowers. This fragrant garden favorite produces masses of crisp white blooms. Flowers are pure white florets, 1/4 inches wide, in 1-2 inch wide clusters. Leaves are medium green in color. Very free flowering. Perfect for lining walkways, borders, edgings, in rock gardens, between paving stones, and for containers or in window boxes. Ideal for combining with other annuals in flower beds and baskets.

SOWING: Sow seeds directly in a sunny location after all danger of frost has passed. Lightly rake seed into soil and moisten. For earlier flowers, start seeds indoors 3-6 weeks before last frost. A simpler way to plant seed outdoors is to imply broadcast seed. Do not cover with any soil or medium. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

SPACING & TRANSPLANTING: Young seedling plants should be spaced 6 to 8 inches apart.

SUGGESTIONS: Watering seed with warm water until first sprouts appear is best but not absolutely necessary. Lightly shear back dead flowers after bloom to prolong flowering season and to prevent legginess. Although an annual, Alyssum will often reseed itself. Grows best in full sun but also grows well in light shade. Easy to grow from seed.
