For some reason the alyssum refuses to stop blooming, and is even thriving. I never used to get alyssum--was scornful of it because it's really just a ground cover. Now I use it all the time, tuck it in my pots. It smells wonderful as you walk past it, and looks really pretty (apparently) when it's all that's in the pot. I can't believe this is doing so well--it's been down to 22 a couple of nights. I have to empty the pots, though, or they'll break. There's moisture enough in the terra cotta so it will crack if it's left out over the winter. Now there's a lesson I learned the hard way. But not just once--oh no, I needed to be convinced it could happen to any pot, any winter.
