Growing Guide

Planting Time
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier for quicker blooms.

Sowing Method
Sprinkle seeds lightly on the soil surface. Do not cover with soil—Sweet Alyssum needs light to germinate. Gently press seeds into the soil and mist with water.

Soil Requirements
Use well-drained soil. Sweet Alyssum prefers average soil and does not need heavy fertilizing.

Light
Full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, partial shade helps extend blooming.

Watering
Keep soil lightly moist during germination. Once established, water moderately and avoid overwatering.

Germination Time
Seeds typically sprout within 7–14 days under proper conditions.

Growth & Care
Plants stay low and spread naturally, making them ideal for ground cover, borders, pots, and hanging baskets. Light trimming can encourage continuous blooms.
