ALYSSUM - MOUNTAIN GOLD
Lobularia montanum
This variety of alyssum is a more moderate growing specimen.
It does not grow much over 20cm in height and bears masses
of bright yellow, sweet smelling flowers that bloom in mid spring
through to autumn if deadheaded regularly. It has edible flowers
and leaves and is often used for its herbal properties. The flowers
make a terrific addition to salad mixes. The foliage is a lovely
silvery grey-green colour which is best seen after flowering has
ceased. It is ideal for rockeries, walls, pathways, garden edges
and in bare areas that are too poor to sustain other plants. It has
a moderate requirement for moisture and can tolerate quite dry
conditions when established. It does not do well in damp conditions
The clumps they form are not easy to divide so plant them around
15 cm apart so they form a contiguous mat. Sow the seed in pots
about 6 weeks before the last spring frost. The seed should be
scattered on the surface and pressed lightly down then kept moist.
It needs 24C of heat and plenty of light to encourage germination.
Seed takes about 7-10 days to germinate.
