How to Grow and Care for Alyssum Seeds

Alyssum is an easy-to-grow flower known for its sweet fragrance and soft, carpet-like blooms. To plant alyssum outdoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed because the plant grows best in cool spring and fall weather. If you prefer an earlier start, you can sow the seeds indoors about four to six weeks before the last frost date.

Alyssum grows well in full sun but also tolerates partial shade, especially in hot climates where some shade can prevent legginess. Choose well-draining soil, even if it is not rich, as this plant can thrive in poor soils and in small gaps between stones.

When sowing the seeds, do not cover them with soil because they require light to germinate. Press them gently onto the surface and keep the soil evenly moist. At temperatures between 60 and 70°F (15 to 21°C), the seeds usually germinate in about five to fourteen days.

During early growth, water the plants lightly and regularly. Once established, alyssum becomes quite drought-tolerant and only needs watering when the soil becomes dry. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can cause root problems. Alyssum produces its best blooms in cool conditions. In hot weather, the plants may stretch, turn brown in the center, or slow down flowering, but trimming them back by about one-third helps them regrow and bloom again when temperatures cool.

Alyssum does not require much fertilizer. Plants in containers can be fed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month, while those in the garden often need no additional feeding. The plant is generally resistant to pests, though you may occasionally see aphids or caterpillars.

Alyssum works beautifully in borders, rock gardens, hanging baskets, pots, and as ground cover. It is also useful in vegetable gardens because it attracts beneficial insects.
