How to grow Basket of Gold Alyssum seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow 1-2 weeks before the last frost, once the soil can be worked.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Clear plastic wrap or a humidity dome (optional)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press firmly — alyssum seeds need light to germinate
• Do not cover the seeds

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; seeds need light to germinate
• Temperature: 60-70°F (16-21°C)
• Humidity: Keep the medium evenly moist; a cover helps until sprouts appear

Germination

• Expect germination in 5-15 days
• Give strong light once sprouts appear to keep seedlings compact

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost, or thin direct-sown seedlings
• Space plants about 6 inches apart

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Water: Keep evenly moist; established plants tolerate some dryness
• Fertilizer: Light feeding only — too much produces leaves instead of flowers
• Shear plants back by half when flowering slows to encourage rebloom

Bloom Time:

Late spring through first frost.
