Used to buy all of my seeds at a small privately owned $ store. Moved away from there and don't have the room anymore for that many seeds, so all I can say is, Happy Gardening with your find!

Um, I really don't NEED to buy seeds at all. I've finally resigned myself to the fact that I have at least 6 seeds of everything I could possibly grow.

Alyssum is a good plant to add to produce gardens because it attracts pollinators and repels pest insects. It also provides ground cover to help soil moisture from evaporating.

I wouldn't call allysum invasive, but it does self-seed fairly readily.

Hello! Someone asked about Cleome and how to plant. They can grow around 4 feet and are branching with large flower heads ...so leave enough room between the plants at least 2 feet. Beautiful plant...use it alot. Comes in shades of rose, pinks and whites. Easy to collect seeds from the seed pods the form from aff shoots on the sides of the plant.

My 99cent store always have bags of bulbs and corms in the fall, last year picked up some freesias, anemones and daffodils, grew beautifully and bloomed this spring. Love alyssum and the fact that it reseeds is a real bonus. It smells so good and the bees love it. If I needed seeds I'd look but will never live long enough to plant what I've already got!
