Clear Crystal® Mixture Alyssum

Clear Crystal® Mixture is a fragrant, mounded sweet alyssum sold as coated multi-seed pellets. PanAmerican Seed describes the tetraploid mixture as having larger flowers and stronger performance in containers, hanging baskets, and in-ground plantings than Easter Bonnet; check the supplied seed lot for its color balance. ## Form and Flowering Plants grow about 6–10 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide. The breeder lists early spring, spring, and autumn flowering, with a mounded habit. This is a mixed-color product rather than a single-color selection, so its display can vary with the seed mixture. ## Siting Plant in full sun in a freely draining bed or container. The breeder recommends spacing of 6–10 inches; that is planting spacing, not mature width. Alyssum performs best with regular moisture while establishing and during active flowering. The product page identifies the species as *Lobularia maritima* and lists the mixture for containers, hanging baskets, and in-ground use. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving pots waterlogged. Remove spent or untidy stems as needed to maintain a compact edge or refresh a container planting.
