British front yards in the 70s where my grandparents lived had a neat rectangular lawn and about 12 to 15 inch boarder all around.

​@@manifoldgrapes124 "Varmints" refers to wild animals that are considered pests under most circumstances, such as moles and mice. They aren't protected by game law, whereas deer are due to their value to humans. I hear you about deer being pests sometimes, though.

Back in the 90s, when I was a kid-teen, McDonald's had a promotion for the Batman Forever movie that included happy meals with Batman specific toys. The Poison Ivy toy was a little planter that came with alyssum seeds. Because Ivy is in Arkham Asylum most of the movie, I thought the seeds said _asylum_ on the package. It took me multiple years, and talking to my stepmom, to finally learn that they had not been called asylum at all. It was alyssum and we actually had thousands of them in our garden already. I never got soil for my little planter so the little pack just kinda sat around until it eventually got thrown away... I assume. Still to this day, any time I see those tiny little flowers, I chuckle to myself. I'm still convinced they picked those particular seeds because their name looked so much like “asylum”.

[@DeRien8]

Alyssum is one of my favorite flowers, the honey smell of the blooms is amazing! Back when I grew them in California, they definitely stuck around whenever conditions were favorable long enough, but with enough repeated drought they will start to die off. Now in NJ, combination of hard freezes and drought will knock them out after a couple seasons. They'll still spread like the dickens in a short time though.

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

I seeded a bunch of creeping thyme and alyssum around the borders of our property and clover in the middle parts. I’m hoping that it spreads everywhere! I live in Nebraska so I figure it will grow during the warm months and go dormant or reseed itself in the winter?

Since people are laughing and being rude in the comments, I would like to explain this word, to help anyone who doesn't know. Chamomile pronunciation - ka-mō-meal with the accent on the first syllable. Chamomile is an herb known for its relaxing properties.
