Sweet Alyssum is a low-maintenance plant for filling out borders that also thrives at dry sites. Noticeable for its scent reminiscent of honey. Particularly attractive to hoverflies. After the first flush of bloom, cutting back the plants by half can encourage a second flowering that lasts well into October.Sweet Alyssum is a low-maintenance plant for filling out borders that also thrives at dry sites.
