Alyssum Rocky - Landing and Care
I had no opportunity to pay enough attention to my garden and had little understanding of gardening issues, when I purchased seeds, I established for myself the only criterion of choice-the plant's resistance to drought. So in my garden there was an awesome rock.
In the first year, the Alissum was somehow lost on the background of the same random inhabitants of the garden, and only my natural laziness contributed to the fact that he was not in the trash along with the weeds.
In the second year without proper care, many plants sown were lost, but the bush of the rocky alissum grew slightly and even blossomed in the spring with completely unimpressive yellow flowers.
Unusual viability in drought conditions in the absence of care and the pleasant roughness of the gray leaves did their job, the stubborn rooster was transplanted onto a small hill. I must say that the reason for the changes in the life of the plant was a trivial fear of squinting a staunch soldier, since by that time I had got a trimmer and a son. in gardening versed even less than I do. mowed everything, that was not somehow fenced, noted.
The yellow bead
The accidental transplantation of the alissum to the elevation led to unexpected results for me.
The third season of plant growth in my garden incredibly raised my personal rating as a gardener, and not only in my eyes. The neighbors, looking through the fence, discussed spring garden compositions, strangers stopped to ask for the root of the “yellow ball” - here it is, my finest hour of the flower grower. So rocky alissum took its place under the sun in the literal and figurative sense.

Care for alissum rock = 0
Blooms allslum rocky from late April to early June, it blends well with many spring flowers.
Pruning faded peduncles is the only thing I do for him. In summer and autumn, in the midst of the flowering of many perennials, rocky alissum with dignity sets off its silvery foliage and the neat spherical shape of its flowering neighbors.
I was surprised to learn that the rocky alissum can hurt, bloom badly and be attacked by pests. To my delight, all this is unknown to me, and given the five-year experience of growing an alissum, I can say with confidence that when planted in appropriate conditions with a maximum of the sun and a minimum of moisture, the alissum rock can be considered an indispensable inhabitant of a minimal care garden.
Alyssum rocky: good always, good everywhere
Thanks to its unpretentious alissum, the rock is especially good for sunny rock gardens, serves as a decoration for dry retaining walls, successfully masks discolored segments of rockeries, it is decorative as at the time of flowering. so and after due to its silvery-green foliage. At the same time, the lack of sun, even within a single plot, turns a bright sunny ball into a friable, incomprehensible form of a pile with rare flowers that look like rape.
The alissum reproduces by rock, seeds, cuttings, bush division. Seeds are sown in April in greenhouses or in the middle of May directly into the pound, bush division is produced in April, cuttings harvested in June. The alissum is hibernated by the rocky, not dropping foliage, frost-hardy.

And rock and sea alussoy
For the sake of justice, it should be noted that the same worthy inhabitant of a small-care garden is and alissum of the sea, it is also a lobularia of the sea, aka borax. Annual plant-honey of long flowering period with flowers of white or lilac color. Fortunately, lobularia is much more common in orchards and certainly is well known to readers, since once sown, it will gratefully grow up self-sowing for the next year.
