Its small narrow leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Summit Alyssum is a dense herbaceous perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics. Summit Alyssum is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Mass Planting - Rock/Alpine Gardens - Border Edging - General Garden Use
