Summer Romance turns bare soil into a soft-focus tapestry. Lavender, violet, rose-pink, and white alyssum clusters rise just 4–6 inches, weaving together around bulbs, along paths, and beneath taller container companions.
This Dutch blend balances dependable performance with a wonderfully loose palette. Honeyed fragrance floats above the flowers while sweet nectar brings butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects close to ground level.
