Wonderland Mix Alyssum

Wonderland Mix is a dwarf sweet alyssum blend with a low, spreading carpet of fragrant flowers in mixed colors. Its matched bloom and compact form make it useful for edging, filling the front of a bed, or spilling over container rims. ## Landscape Use [Ball Horticultural’s exact mix listing](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=003501652003332&env=P) describes a semi-trailing carpet, while [Benary’s Wonderland series page](https://www.benary.com/products/lobularia-maritima-wonderland) lists the series for beds, borders, rockeries, and containers. The product is currently offered as seed, and the mixture combines colors from the Wonderland range. Use it as a seasonal foreground layer rather than a permanent lawn substitute. ## Growing Conditions Sweet alyssum grows in full sun or partial shade and needs freely draining soil. It flowers most reliably in cool weather; heat can reduce bloom, with renewed flowers possible when temperatures fall. Keep plants watered while young and check containers more often as they dry faster. [UW–Madison Extension](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/sweet-alyssum-lobularia-maritima/) describes the species’ pollinator value and seasonal groundcover use. Published size estimates for this mix vary, so allow room for a spreading mat. ## Maintenance Water during dry spells, especially in pots, without keeping the crown wet. Shear lightly when flowers fade or growth becomes untidy to encourage a fresh flush. Remove plants at the end of the seasonal display.
