Yellow Allysum




Flowering season is over, but the delightful little yellow flowers can be seen here.

there as so many different Yellow Allysums and some countries so the little flowering alpine as very invasive.

Perhaps it is but we always chop off the seeds for growing new plants so we never have an invasion of yellow allysum, other plants that run roots all over the place are far more invasive.

Our Allysum grows along side a pretty euphorbia, which is not for sale because of its noxious sap that can cause blistering of the skin. Still the two plants enjoy each others company along side the garden pond.

Although we have tried to seperate the two, the euphorbia comes back year after year like a proverbial weed.

As for the Alyssum it seems enjoy full sun, and is definitely perennial in our garden. Its never succumbed to the very harsh winters or terrible wet weather we have suffered lately. Every year it comes back flourishing.
