Notes
'Sweet Alyssum' garlic (Allium sativum 'Sweet Alyssum') is a vegetable for containers, low maintenance spots, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The erect plants are fragrant and attract butterflies. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Black Pearl coral bells, Common comfrey, and Black raspberry.
