GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
HARDY ANNUAL
Spring/summer bloom
Can handle frost
EASIEST TO PLANT DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN
Plant in early spring in well-worked soil in a sunny spot. Sow 1/2 inch apart and barely cover. Keep evenly moist while awaiting germination. Seedlings will create a carpet of fine textured leaves, followed by a blanket of soft, airy flowers.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow indoors 3 to 4 weeks before last frost in a large seed flat. Broadcast seeds 1/2 to 1 inch apart. To transplant, separate clusters of 4 to 5 seedlings and plant each cluster 3 to 5 inches apart.
GROWING NOTES
Given ordinary garden soil and even moisture, alyssum grows easily and blooms profusely just 6 to 8 weeks from sowing. Plants stay compact and don't get rangy. After the first flush of intense flowering is over, cut plants back halfway to re-bloom abundantly. In mild winter areas, sow alyssum in the fall around bulbs, in containers or to cover bare areas. Plants overwinter to bloom all spring in a pretty carpet of pastel shades.

These germinated fantastically and are producing lovely little flowers. I was hoping for a bit more color variety -- I planted the entire seed package and I would say about 80% of the flowers are white, 15% purple, and maybe 5% pink. I'd order alyssum from Renee's Garden again, but perhaps in a different color.
Great customer service. Thank you to Renee's.gareden. They are so helpful.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you have had a great experience with us! Happy gardening!
What can I say? I just love this company. Every time I order seeds from them they come packed as if it was a secret mission package. Their seeds always look amazing and this company takes pride in what they do. I will continue to purchase from this company.
