Alyssum plants are a tender and delicate annual.
They are small and easy to grow. Alyssum are usually used as a border plant and also look really good growing in the nooks and crannies of a rock garden. They are good candidates for container gardens, too.
Alyssum are small plants, growing just three to nine inches tall, depending upon variety. Alyssum have a profusion of flowers, with white being the most popular. Flower varieties also include: pink, violet, purple and lavender.
Most Popular Varieties: Carpet of Snow, Mountain Gold
Propagation:
Alyssum are grown from seed. Sow Alyssum seeds directly into your flower garden. You can also start seeds indoors for transplanting later. If planting outdoors, sow Alyssum seeds after the soil has begun to warm in the spring. Alyssum do not like frost, so if started indoors, transplant them outdoors after the last frost date.
Space plants eight to ten inches apart.
Sow seeds early in the season and cover lightly with soil. Water thoroughly once. Alyssum will begin to produce a continuous profusion of sweet smelling flowers by mid-summer.
Days to Germination: 5 -15
