This variety is well suited for gardeners who value low-maintenance plants that contribute to a healthy, balanced garden ecosystem.

Fragrant Heirloom Ground Cover:
Sweet Royal Carpet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is known for:

  • Rich violet blooms that create a uniform, carpeted appearance
  • A gentle, honey-scented fragrance that enhances garden spaces
  • Compact, spreading growth ideal for edging and filling gaps

Why Customers Love Royal Carpet Alyssum:

  • Produces continuous blooms throughout the growing season
  • Attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects
  • Easy to grow and suitable for gardeners of all experience levels
  • Versatile use in borders, containers, rock gardens, and pathways
  • Self-seeding habit provides lasting beauty year after year

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors for earlier blooms. Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface, as light aids germination, and keep soil evenly moist until established. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Moderate watering is sufficient once plants are established.

Care & Garden Use:
Light trimming after heavy flowering encourages fresh growth and extended blooming. Allow some plants to set seed to promote natural reseeding and continued coverage in future seasons.
