Alyssum – “Carpet Of Snow”

Sowing

5-3-19 – I found a bunch of alyssum seed in my greenhouse that was tucked away in a corner so short of tossing them out I tossed them in various containers in my garden hoping that maybe they will grow. I should see some germination in 7 days or so. I also had some new seed that I acquired this year and they too got tossed in some other containers and hanging baskets. If they do germ and are prolific, I will transplant them to more areas in the garden.
