The genus comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants or small shrubs, growing to 10–100 cm tall, with oblong-oval leaves and yellow or white flowers. The genera Lobularia and Aurinia are closely related to Alyssum and were formerly included in it. The widely cultivated species popularly known as "sweet alyssum" is Lobularia maritima.
