Alyssum Easter Bonnet 'Violet'

Alyssum Easter Bonnet Violet produces lovely medium purple blooms.  The Alyssum grows very compact with a multitude of pristine delicate flowers growing to be between 6-9” tall.  It is heat tolerant and works very well along walkways and edges of beds.  Alyssum spreads elegantly to about 8-10” wide.  This sweet annual grows quickly and blooms continuously, so it’s always a favorite with landscapers! The blooms are frilly and produce a wonderful scent that may attract butterflies and hummingbirds.  While it will grow in all zones, it will halt growth during the Summer in the warmest climates.  Perfect for Spring and Fall!
