The beautiful gold tones, the delicate details, of Yellow Alyssum (Aurinia saxatilis) are blooming in my garden today. A perfect choice for Cee’s Flower of the Day and also Bright April Squares Challenge from BeckyB of Winchester.
My Plant is about ten inches tall, and about that size in width too. I planted it last Spring and it came through a snowy New Jersey winter very well. The flowers only bloom one time for me, but the bluish green foliage blends in well with other garden plants.
My golden alyssum florets and stems press perfectly. I gather a few and place them between the pages of a book. Long after the outdoor blooms have come and gone, the pressed flowers from this plant are still vibrant and intact.
The Spruce has a great article on growing Yellow Alyssum. (Aurinia saxatilis)

What a surprise to see yellow alyssum! I grow white and purple, so I’ll have to look out for this beautiful sunny shade. In our warm climate, my alyssum self-sew each year. 🙂

It is pretty isn’t it? I also grow white and purple, but find I tend to pull the volunteers because they look grassy. Thanks for stopping by the blog and the comment.
