Growing Tips No deadheading necessary. Unlike most alyssum this one will bloom through the summer. This plant is sterile so it will bloom all summer without deadheading. Snow Princess is a "heavy drinker" and will prefer evenly moist soil. It will be quick to show drought stress, but should bounce back quickly once re-hydrated. In a hanging basket you should be prepared to water often, maybe more than once a day during warm weather. Plants are easier to keep moist when planted in large planters. Due to her water needs Snow Princess is ideal for use in larger planters. |

| 2009 | Summer Survivor | Texas A & M - East Texas Bedding Plant Trial |
| At this latitude, we think of alyssum as a winter annual which may or may not continue to live through the heat of summer after being planted in the fall of the year. This plant was a beautiful mound of white flowers all summer long despite the blazing heat we had this year. Brent Pemberton | ||

| ...a froth of white blooms NEVER petering out ALL season. Ann Tice | ||
| 2009 | Superior Rating | Colorado State University |
| This variety kept flowering strong all season - even through the summer heat. The bright white flowers were very fragrant on vigorous plants with a uniform, spreading growth habit. Dr. Klett | ||

| 2009 | October Plant of the Month | Dallas Arboretum |
| Oh, and it doesn’t die in the heat, either! We planted it in the Dallas Arboretum trial garden in full Texas sun, in the ground and in containers. I was certain that the torrential rains this year, followed by our infernal heat, would wipe it out, but it didn’t. As our Trial motto says, “If we can’t kill it, no one can!” -- and we really tried! - Jimmy Turner | ||
