"Planted on 4. 25. 26. Cool spring in 6b, and they are popping up everywhere!"
"Such a beautiful and delicate looking tiny flower. It was 29 decrees last week and while it ended the season for other flowers these little guys are still blooming!"
"This flower just continues to bloom when all the others stop. Its Oct 28th in Northern Indiana, had a frost last night. No problems. . . . still blooming. Going to try twice the amount next spring."
"These seeds were fantastic ! Ordered 1/4 pound last year and used then all. I planted them in the spring adding to pots, window boxes and flower beds as a filler for bare spots. Its now October and they still look great. I will definitely order again,"
"I purchased 1/4 pound of these seeds as a ground cover for the empty in-between areas of my front porch flower garden so I wouldn't have to weed as much. They've since become a favorite part of my garden. They're easy to grow and beautiful, and every time I walk on my front porch I am kissed with the delicate sweet scent of sweet alyssum. I live in Hawaii where it is hot and rainy, and these have flourished in both full sun open areas to the covered shady areas of my porch. I've covered about 100 square feet and I still have 3/4 of the bag left, so a little go a long way. I am happy to say I will be growing these for a long time."
"You can't go wrong with American Meadows' Sweet Alyssum seeds! Sprouts appear just a day or two after planted. And they keep on growing into lush carpets of snow-white blossoms. Being short in stature, they're a wonderful choice for the front of the border, where you can show them off. Sweet Alyssum--an all around gem of a seed!"
"Quick grower and easy to plant"
"I have been planting wildflowers around my property and Alyssum is one of the most vigorous growers. It blooms for months and has become the dominant flower on my property"
"We have a long fence line of alternating arborvitae and roses. Planted the sweet alyssum between and in front of the shrubs. The plants came up quickly, have been showing their stuff all summer and are still blooming and in perfect shape in the last half of October. Very, very pleased with quality of the seeds."
"They smell wonderful and grew profusely. They were not as neat and tidy looking as the usual garden shop variety. Would not recommend for a manicured looking landscape. Great for fragrance and filling in an area."
