    These germinated, grew, and bloomed really fast. They got very big and bushy, and produced lots of beautiful white flowers.

    Customer photo review of Alyssum Seeds - Snowcloth

    I direct sowed Snowcloth alyssum seeds in late spring here in Birmingham, AL. It’s always hard to find a sweet alyssum that will withstand the heat of our summers. Snowcloth was unbelievable; bloomed all summer, despite the heat and droughts. In fact, as I write this a few days before Thanksgiving, it’s still blooming! We had a freeze that went down to about 24F and I just covered it with a towel. Extremely hardy and lovely. The very best selection, at least for anyone with hot summers. Thanks, Eden Brothers!
