Planting & Care
Sow Sweet Alyssum seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7 to 14 days at around 65 to 70°F.
Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to the recommended spacing. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogged soil. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continued blooming. Sweet Alyssum is generally low-maintenance and may self-seed in favorable conditions.
