Honey-Scented Alyssum

Summer Peaches

(Lobularia maritima)
EXCLUSIVE - We’ve fallen in love with this new alyssum from skilled Dutch breeders. The tiny scented clusters of Summer Peaches quickly form a ground-covering tapestry of pastel blossoms in soft peachy tones. Easy to grow and fast to bloom, Summer Peaches is perfect to carpet rose or bulb beds, unify and fill in containers or soften borders and garden edges. Alyssum’s honey scent perfumes the air all summer and its sweet nectar is a magnet for butterflies and beneficial insects.

EASIEST TO PLANT DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN

Plant in early spring in well worked soil in a sunny spot. Sow 1/2 inch apart and barely cover. Keep evenly moist while awaiting germination. Seedlings will create a carpet of fine textured leaves, followed by a blanket of soft, airy flowers.

 

TO START EARLY INDOORS

Sow indoors 3 to 4 weeks before last frost in a large seed flat. Broadcast seeds 1/2 to 1 inch apart. To transplant, separate clusters of 4 to 5 seedlings and plant each cluster several inches apart.

 

GROWING NOTES

Given ordinary garden soil and even moisture, Summer Peaches grows easily and blooms profusely just 6 to 8 weeks from sowing. Plants stay compact and don’t get rangy. After the first flush of intense flowering is over, cut plants back halfway to re-bloom abundantly. In mild winter areas, sow Summer Peaches alyssum in the fall around bulbs, in containers or to cover bare areas. Plants overwinter to bloom all spring in a pretty carpet of pastel shades.
