>> Rick, what Alyssum variety?
That's one of many annoying things about seed mixes - who knows? I'm never buying a mix again!
I'm prety confident of the species:
Lobularia maritima
The variety looks most like 'Snow Crystals'
white bloom
6-8" tall bushy
sprawls 12-18"
I see Woofie contributed pictures:
Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima 'Snow Crystals')
I gathered seeds, but was very afraid that they had not pollinated or matgured, since some seeds were tiny and thin. So just to prove that to myself, I tried germinating a pinch of "chaff" and "dead seeds". Well, the bowl in which the coffee filter sat FILLED with vigorous Alyssum roots & seedlings!
Maybe that's the good thing about seed mixes: they have tough, resilient, easy-to-multiply plants!
Anyone who wants some, send an address. I gots lots. In my Zone 8, wikth lots of drizzle, some come back, even for twol years in solme cases. tghey seem to love growing out of cracks between paving. They are almost ground cover, except much to pretty to walk on.
