Alyssum Snowcloth Seeds

Alyssum Snowcloth is a soft and elegant annual that produces masses of tiny pure white flowers, creating a fresh carpet of colour that brightens any corner of the garden.

 

The blooms appear in generous clusters above neat green foliage, giving a clean, crisp look that works beautifully in rockeries, walls, borders and containers.

 

Plants stay low and spreading, quickly forming a dense mat that spills gently over edges and stones.

Flowering begins in early summer and continues well into autumn, offering long lasting colour and a delicate honey scent that attracts bees and friendly pollinators.

 

Snowcloth is reliable, easy to grow and perfect for gardeners who want effortless brightness with very little maintenance.

 

This variety thrives in sunny positions and well drained soil, showing good drought tolerance once established. Its soft white flowers bring light, texture and a calming touch to any outdoor space.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds indoors in trays or small pots filled with moist compost. Press lightly onto the surface and do not cover, as light helps germination. Keep at a steady temperature until seedlings appear. Transplant into individual pots when large enough to handle. Harden off and plant outdoors after the last frost in a sunny well drained position.

Alternatively, sow directly into prepared soil in late spring.

 

Grow and Maintenance

Water regularly during establishment, then sparingly once plants are growing strongly. Alyssum prefers free draining soil and thrives in warm sunny positions. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Ideal for rockeries, walls, edging and containers.

Success Tip: Plant along paths or in raised beds where the flowers can spill gently over the edges.
