Basket of Gold Alyssum Seeds
Basket of Gold Alyssum delivers a vibrant carpet of bright, golden-yellow blooms that light up the spring garden. This sun-loving perennial forms neat, mounding plants that cascade beautifully over rock walls, slopes, borders, and edging. Blooming heavily in early to mid-spring, it provides one of the season’s most vivid and reliable displays.
Heat- and drought-tolerant once established, Basket of Gold thrives in poor, rocky, or well-drained soils where many other perennials struggle. Its dense clusters of fragrant flowers attract early pollinators and make it a standout choice for xeriscapes, cottage gardens, and mass plantings. A low-maintenance, long-lived perennial that brings brilliant spring color year after year.
