Alyssum Lobularia Maritima - Royal Carpet is named for the majestic purple flowers that also have white flowers randomly bloom against the purple, making it quite attractive and one of the lowest growers at 2 – 4 inches tall.  Loving full Sun and poor soil, this is a great plant for a lazy gardener. Easy to grow and no maintenance with a ton of flowers covering bald spots or cascading over a window box or container. This 2-tone flower is fragrant as well as attractive. It attracts Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Bees and some beneficial insects such as ladybugs, which eat aphids. Crazy but it is a member of the Mustard family. The name Alyssum comes from a Greek word that means ~ rabies,~ the ancient Greeks believed that this plant had the ability to treat this disease.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
