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. The mild clove-flavored petals make a colorful garnish on salads, desserts, and cold drinks. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.)
