How to grow White & Purple Sweet Alyssum seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, or in early autumn in mild climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Plastic wrap or a humidity dome to hold moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface-sow and press gently into the mix — seeds need light to germinate.
• Mist lightly to settle the seeds.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; light is required for germination.
• Temperature: 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Germination

• Germination takes 7-14 days.
• Grow seedlings in cool, bright conditions.

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost.
• Harden off first.
• Space 6-12 inches apart; closer spacing makes a denser carpet.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade; full sun gives the most flowers.
• Water: Keep evenly moist; established plants tolerate short dry spells.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding only — too much fertilizer makes leggy plants with fewer flowers.
• Shear plants back by a third in midsummer to trigger a fresh flush of bloom.

Bloom Time:

Spring to frost, starting about 6-8 weeks from sowing.
