| Sweet Alyssum is a delicate carpet of tiny flowers with a subtle, sweet scent. The low-growing foliage is covered by flowers for much of the growing season. Sweet Alyssum is very easy to grow, from plant or seed. It is a cool season flower that can be set out in early spring. In frost-free climates, Sweet Alyssum can also be grown throughout the fall and winter. Most varieties will fade in the heat but bloom again in the fall. Sweet Alyssum is a nearly unmatched plant that is hardy to both heat and drought. It thrives in a wide range of regions across the United States. The flowers have a sweet, lively fragrance and are members of the mustard family. They will self-sow and can provide year after year of bright color, especially in milder climates. Broadcast seeds in flats indoors, or well-amended soil outside. Don’t cover seed, as light will aid in germination. Keep moist until germination, 7-20 days. Transplant seedlings when there are at least two sets of secondary leaves, allowing 6 inches of space between plants. For containers, place plants in high quality, well-draining potting mix and allow 6-12 inches of space between plants, depending on the variety. Water plants thoroughly. Alyssum will self-sow readily in our climate. However, the seedlings tend to have poorer quality flowers so it’s best to remove them and start again with fresh seed or transplants each year. |
