How To Grow
If starting indoors, sow into seed trays with a clean starter mix. Press seeds into soil, but do not cover: light is required for germination. Keep seeds moist until germination. Seeds can also be directly sown into a prepared seedbed outdoors. Seeds will germinate in 7-21 days. When seedlings are established in their permanent location, thin to clumps spaced by 6 inches. Alyssum should be planted in an area of full sun or partial shade. Partial shade is necessary in areas with hot summers. Moderate watering will produce the healthiest plant with most blooms.
