How to grow Easter Bonnet Mix Sweet 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, or after frost in cold climates.

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Press seeds gently into the surface of moist soil — do not cover; they need light to germinate
• Keep the surface from drying out until seedlings emerge

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; seeds need light to germinate
• Temperature: 60-70°F (15-21°C)
• Humidity: A light cover helps keep the surface moist until germination

Germination

• Seeds germinate in 5-15 days
• Thin or transplant seedlings to about 6 inches apart

Transplanting

• Transplant after frost danger has passed
• Harden off over 3-5 days
• Space plants about 6 inches apart — they will knit together into a carpet

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to part shade
• Water: Water moderately; let the soil dry slightly between waterings once established
• Fertilizer: Light feeders — a monthly balanced liquid feed is plenty if growth looks pale
• Shear plants back by about a third in midsummer to refresh them and encourage a second flush of bloom

Bloom Time:

Spring until the first frost.
