Yes, that is your surprise! It is Sweet Allyssum - pastel colors. I plant mine at the base of all my fruit trees because they attract bees and other bene bugs for pollination. They smell wonderful.
My rule of thumb is if I can't eat it I wont grow it unless it helps bring bene bug to the garden or has another beneficial use.
On a side note: the year I grew my best onions, I got so tired of looking at the bare rows so I tossed lots of poppy seeds onto them. I know it was because of the poppies. Just like toms and potato are supposed to be good companion plants or the three sisters method of bean squash and corn.
me too. That is good to know about poppy. The good thing is there are a lot of flowers that do good things for you, your plants, or beneficial insects.
Oh and I love my special seeds for most unique. I was actually looking at those seeds on my pet chicken thinking about ordering them just last week.
