Violet Knight® Sweet Alyssum | Proven Winners®

Dense clusters of violet-purple blooms with a soft, honey-like fragrance.

Violet Knight® Sweet Alyssum is a trailing annual that blooms from early spring through frost, delivering continuous color and fragrance in containers, borders, and sunny landscapes.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when you want low, spreading color that fills in fast.

• Spilling over containers and hanging baskets
• Edging pathways and borders with soft color
• Filling gaps between larger plants
• Creating a low, flowering groundcover
• Attracting bees and butterflies

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

Most alyssum fades out once summer heat hits. This doesn't. Proven Winners® bred the Knight series to handle both cool starts and warm stretches, so it keeps blooming when older types stall out. It fills in quickly, stays soft and full, and carries color across multiple seasons without needing constant work.
