Key Characteristics
Description / Pastel Carpet Sweet Alyssum Seeds
Like a banner to welcome spring, this carpet of soft pastel shades hugs the ground with gentle color and a vigorous spreading habit. Pastel Carpet is the most floriferous, vigorous, and colorful sweet alyssum yet, with soft shades of rose, pink, violet, blue, white, and creamy-yellow all over low-growing, 3-inch-tall plants.
The flowers begin just 8 to 10 weeks from early-spring sowing, and don't let up until frost. The plants spread up to a foot wide, every inch covered in gentle color. A mass planting of Pastel Carpet is an arresting sight, and even the humblest basket or border looks like a spring paradise with this free-blooming, low-growing, miniature delight.
Plant in full sun for edging, ground cover, low beds, and containers. Trim back to get constantly-returning blooms.

Lots of color! 0 people found this helpfulThese sprouted very quickly & the germination rate was 95%. There is a variety of color… medium pink, light pink, pale pink, cream & white. Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful mix 0 people found this helpfulI wasn't sure about purchasing these seeds given the past reviews but I figured I'd see what kind of mix I'd get. Planted these in late May/early June & sprouted in no time. They are flowering now (July) and have such beautiful colors...pink, dark pink/purple, & white so far but some have buds & haven't bloomed yet. They are still in a long planting tray but I will transplant them into the ground since I know the colors. Definitely would buy these seeds again.

Few Pastels - mostly white 2 people found this helpfulGood germination rate, rapid growth plants became full quickly. Very fragrant. 90% of the plants produced white flowers, with the remaining a week pastel. Good plants with disappointing color.

Nice plants, but not that colorful 3 people found this helpfulI got nearly 100% germination rate. I kept around 40 plants, which turned out to have mostly white flowers, just a few pinks and only one plant had purple flowers. Still, they grew compact and covered in honey-scented blooms in spite of the heat (over 85 °F).
