Botanical Interests Allure Pastel Blend Sweet Alyssum Seeds

Sweetly fragrant, colorful plants are star garden performers! Alluring, pastel shades of tiny flowers are massed on low, compact mounds. Fanciful along the front of your flowerbed, on the edge of a border, here and there in a rock garden, or in containers.

"Great staff!"

- Bryce Olson, December 2023

"The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and there's so many great options for good plants and garden decorations! The jalapeno plants here are the best. You could easily lose a day just browsing through all of their different plant and shopping options."

"Just wanted to give a shout-out to both Megan and Cole who planted a new tree for us. It was hot when they were planting but they took time to make sure the placement was perfect. They also were great in explaining the maintenance that will be needed. Very professional and super attitudes…..great employees!"
