Alyssum is a beneficial plant to have in your garden. They are often white or purple and have a sweet scent. Loves full sun to part shade and well draining/sandy soil. Bees love it and it also can attract beneficial insects such as parasitic wasps and predatory beetles that prey on the destructive cabbage moth caterpillars
