SWEET Alyssum Seeds, Bonnet Peach , PERENNIAL FLOWERS

Lobularia maritima 'Easter Bonnet Peach' is a compact, early-flowering alyssum from the celebrated Easter Bonnet Series — uniform, tidy, and covered with dainty, fragrant flowers in warm peach parfait tones that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Landscapers prize the Easter Bonnet Series for its exceptional earliness, full color uniformity, and its ability to stay neat and compact far longer than other alyssums. Establishes quickly, blooms continuously, and performs in all zones — though in the hottest climates growth pauses in peak summer heat and resumes strongly in the fall. Excellent for borders, rock gardens, path edging, and containers.

100 seeds per packet.
