Know before you buy
The multi-pelleted form makes these tiny seeds much easier to handle and space out during planting. Each pellet contains multiple seeds, which helps ensure a dense, uniform carpet of blooms once they germinate.
No, do not cover the seeds with soil. Alyssum seeds require light to germinate, so they should be pressed firmly into the surface of the growing medium.
It is essential. Because these are pelleted seeds, you must keep the medium consistently moist until the seedlings emerge to ensure the pellet coating breaks down properly and the seeds sprout.
Yes. Because of their vigorous spreading habit and dense growth, these plants create a thick carpet that shades the soil, making it difficult for weeds to establish themselves.
While they are hardy and tolerate dry soil well once established, they still require moderate watering to maintain their health and continuous blooming throughout the season.
For optimal growth, aim for daytime temperatures between 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures between 55-60°F. This range helps the plants maintain their uniform height and consistent bloom timing.
