Allysum wulfenianum
A radiant little species from the limestone slopes of the eastern Alps, Alyssum wulfenianum forms neat, silvery-gray cushions that gleam even when not in bloom. In late spring, each mound is transformed by dense heads of rich golden-yellow flowers, a burst of color that perfectly complements the cool-toned foliage.
This compact perennial thrives in full sun and sharply drained, lean soil—ideally in a rock garden, crevice, or raised bed where its alpine heritage can shine. The foliage remains attractive year-round, providing structure and contrast among other alpine and dwarf perennials.
Tough, drought-tolerant, and long-lived once established, it embodies the durable charm of true alpine plants. Hardy to at least USDA Zone 4.
A fine choice for bright edges, tufa gardens, or any spot needing a splash of gold against silver—a classic that earns its keep in every season.
