Thanks, next year I would like to add a few more to have some color during the Fall. Please post your photos of what is showing out for you late in the year.

Thanks

Perhaps not "good", but certainly pretty. Winter is here. Calibrachoa MiniFamous Dark Blue

I took these photos Sept 28. Everything looked great until the 2nd week in October. Had killing frost and a bit of snow. We have Winter now.

My alyssum clear crystal is the only thing still blooming here. Too cold to take pictures! But I have a shot here taken on Nov.2 last year.


And Geranium Rozanne has just a very few blossoms left. It has never been out of bloom since May.

I have a bit of the purple clear crystal alyssum (thanks for telling me about those, Karen) that is still blooming in a pot out front.

Aren't they great, Woofie? I love that they're supplied as multi-seed pellets, too. I've only had the white, but I just ordered the mixed colors last week. I haven't even't gotten them in the mail yet.

My only complaint is that the purple ones don't seem to be as fragrant as the Snow Crystals.

I agree. The white alyssum is way more fragrant

What seed company do you order them from? LMK
Thanks,

I can't comment on the fragrance. My nose isn't very good.

I bought mine several years ago so I don't remember. I bought a big load of them (white) so I'm still using that same batch. I ordered some mixed colors last week from Harris. Again, it was a bunch, but they'll last me for years.

I had a free shipping offer from Harris last week, and I wanted another seed from them, so I ordered the alyssum, too.

I'm sure other companies sell them too. If you google it, I'm sure you'll find others.

I got my purple Clear Crystal from Swallowtail. But for the white alyssum I prefer the Snow Crystals variety; it's very fragrant and seems to form a more compact plant than the Clear Crystal variety (although that could just be where I had them planted). You can get Snow Crystals just about anywhere, too.
