Sweet alyssum seeds — honey-scented carpets for edging and pots

Sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is a low, spreading annual that smothers itself in tiny, honey-scented flowers from late spring to the first frosts. The botanical group sits under Lobularia maritima within our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Sow once for a summer-long carpet of bloom — the calendar shows when.

A carpet for edges, pots and gravel

Its neat, mounding habit makes alyssum perfect for softening path edges, filling cracks between paving and skirting taller plants — it's a natural for our ground-cover flowers and container flowers. The nectar-rich blooms also draw in bees and hoverflies.

Growing sweet alyssum from seed

Scatter the fine seed on the surface of moist compost and leave it uncovered — it needs light to germinate and usually appears within one to two weeks. Grow in full sun and shear lightly after the first flush to keep it blooming. Our germination guide covers the basics.

Planting for pollinators or edging? Here's where to look next.

Is sweet alyssum easy to grow from seed?
Very. It germinates within one to two weeks on the surface of moist compost and tolerates poor soils, making it a great choice for beginners. When should I sow alyssum seeds?
Sow indoors in early spring for early flowers, or direct-sow outdoors once frosts have passed. Our flower sowing calendar shows the timing month by month. Does sweet alyssum flower all summer?
Yes — if you shear it back lightly after the first flush it will keep producing flowers from late spring until the first autumn frosts. Is alyssum good for bees?
Its honey-scented flowers are rich in nectar and attract bees, hoverflies and other beneficial insects.
