Description
Basket of Gold Alyssum (Aurinia saxatilis), historically known as Alyssum saxatile, is a beloved, hardy perennial groundcover famous for creating a dazzling carpet of intense golden-yellow blossoms in early spring. Featuring grey-green, velvety foliage that forms low-spreading mounds, it provides vibrant color when few other plants are blooming. Ideal for cascading over stone walls, filling rock gardens, or edging sunny borders, this low-maintenance classic attracts early pollinators while enduring dry, lean garden conditions with ease.
