Royal carpet is purple alyssum that blooms in the summertime. You will most likely spot alyssum as border plants edging large flower beds in containers and hanging baskets as a low-lying spiller or around rose bushes. I also love the way that alyssum looks in a hanging basket on a porch or patio.
Narrow leaves about one inch long hardly show through clusters of tiny flowers that cover the plants over a long season.
