Sweet Alyssum is well suited to garden borders, edging, pots, window boxes and hanging baskets, where its spreading habit creates a soft display of colourful blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers have a distinctive sweet, honey-like fragrance and a mild flavour combining floral sweetness with light peppery and mustard-like notes. Their small size makes them particularly useful as an edible garnish where you want to add colour and flavour without overwhelming the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible Flowers for Salads, Desserts \u0026amp; Garnishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Alyssum flowers can be scattered over salads, cakes, desserts, canapés, platters and savoury dishes.

Use only correctly identified Sweet Alyssum flowers that have been grown for edible use and have not been treated with chemicals unsuitable for edible crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Colour for Borders, Pots \u0026amp; Hanging Baskets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Alyssum develops a naturally low, mounding and spreading habit that works particularly well along garden edges, paths, raised beds, rockeries and around taller plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also performs well in pots, window boxes and hanging baskets, where the flowering stems can soften the edges of containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe abundant flowers attract bees, hoverflies and other visiting insects, making Alyssum a useful addition around productive gardens as well as an attractive edible flower crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Edible Flowers to Grow from Seed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlyssum can be direct sown where it is to flower or raised in trays, cells or small pots before transplanting.
