Alyssum: Royal Carpet

We loved the look of this purple alyssum in our garden last year.  Alyssum is really easy to grow and does a great job spreading out on soil in between your veggies for weed suppression. This variety was an AAS winner in 1953. It even tolerates temperature down to 25F. Wow! Height is 3" and many varieties of pollinators love it.
