» Cottage_Garden - Marigolds and Sweet Alyssum

The pairing of marigolds and sweet alyssum is a natural one, both are easy to grow annuals that like sun and they are widely available as started transplants and as seeds. The sweet alyssum smells good, too!

I snapped these in a planter at a commercial office building last fall in Pasadena. It always helps to see the plants as they will look a month or two after planting when they've had some time to grow and fill in .... See them at Planting Flowers in Spring.
