Species Details

Golden Alyssum is a very rare casual perennial of waste ground and dry banks that is commonly grown in gardens. There are only two recent records, Peak Dale (SK0876) and Belper (SK3446); and two previous ones from the 1970s, Alport Heights (SK3251) and Nether Heage (SK3550). It is indigenous to central and south-eastern Europe.
