Using Allysum In The Yard

Alyssum will creep around rock gardens, on rock walls, and along the edges of beds. It is an excellent choice for seeding into cracks and crevices of walkway and patio stones, and once established it readily reseeds. It is also good for filling in spaces between taller plants in borders and mixed containers. [From Annuals For Michigan by Szerlag and Beck]

Alyssum spills gently over the edges of window-boxes and softens the sides of planters. Its fine texture contrasts with larger-leafed, coarser annuals such as Geraniums and Wax Begonias. Set this old-fashiond plant between steppingstones. Use taller forms as cut flowers. [Pennsylvania Garden Guide by Liz Ball
