Royal Carpet is a compact Sweet Alyssum producing masses of rich, deep violet flowers on low-growing plants reaching approximately 12 cm. Its dense, spreading habit creates a colourful carpet, making it ideal for edging, pathways, rockeries, containers and the front of garden beds.
The tiny, fragrant flowers are highly attractive to bees and beneficial insects, making Royal Carpet particularly useful around vegetable gardens and productive growing areas. Plant between beds or along pathways to provide nectar and pollen while adding a striking splash of colour.
Hardy and easy to grow, Alyssum performs in full sun or partial shade and flowers over an extended period in suitable conditions. Regular trimming or deadheading encourages fresh growth and continued flowering.
Seed count: approximately 3,000 seeds/g
