Good plant #161 - Alyssum Montanum 'Tekara'

This is an evergreen and spreading/ trailing perennial alyssum that flowers in spring. It's worth giving it a light trim after flower to tidy it up.

It likes a sunny spot and thrives in well-drained soil. It will do well in a well-drained pot on a patio and will cascade nicely over the edge.

You can propagate by taking cuttings in summer.
