Alyssum Violet

Alyssum Violet brings both charm and fragrance to any garden setting. With its deep purple blooms forming dense, cushion-like mounds, it’s a reliable favourite for gardeners who want continuous colour without much fuss. Each cluster releases a soft, sweet perfume that becomes even more noticeable during warm, sunny days. Despite its delicate appearance, this plant is surprisingly resilient and thrives in a range of conditions. It works especially well when planted in masse, creating an eye-catching, low-growing carpet of colour. Because it stays compact, it’s perfect for edging pathways or softening the edges of raised beds.

What’s more, its long blooming period ensures months of enjoyment from a single planting. Whether you’re filling in gaps or building out a vibrant, fragrant border, this hardy annual delivers beauty and ease. Best of all, it pairs beautifully with other sun-loving flowers like petunias and marigolds. So, if you’re aiming to elevate your garden with minimal effort and maximum impact, Alyssum Violet should be on your shortlist—it’s a small plant with a big personality.
