Know before you buy
Multi-pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-like material to make them easier to handle and sow. Each pellet contains multiple seeds, which helps ensure a fuller, more robust plant cluster once they germinate.
No, these seeds require light to germinate. Simply press them into the surface of your seed-starting mix and keep them consistently moist until they sprout.
Alyssum Clear Crystals are a cool-season crop that prefers milder temperatures. While they are bred for vigor, they may struggle or slow down production during the peak heat of mid-summer.
These plants have a spread of 12 to 14 inches. Space them accordingly to allow for proper airflow and to ensure they have enough room to reach their full, mounded potential.
Under optimal conditions with a soil temperature between 65-70°F, these seeds germinate very quickly, typically within 2 to 3 days.
