Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation required; Alyssum seeds are small and can be sown directly.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
Scatter seeds lightly over the soil surface and press them down gently. Do not cover seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate.
If sowing indoors, use seed-starting trays filled with a light, well-draining potting mix.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 55-70°F (13-21°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Transplanting:
If started indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden when they have at least two true leaves and after hardening them off for 7-10 days.
Space plants 6 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Happy Gardening!
