Sweet Alyssum Planting Instructions:
| 1. When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. |
| 2. Preparation: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Alyssum isn't picky about soil but prefers it to be well-drained. |
| 3. Sowing: These seeds are tiny! Scatter them on the surface and press them lightly into the soil. Do not cover them deeply, as they need light to sprout. |
| 4. Care: Once established, Alyssum is quite drought-tolerant. If the plants start to look "leggy" or stop blooming in the mid-summer heat, shear them back by half to trigger a fresh flush of flowers. |
| 5. Pests and Diseases: Very few issues. Their thick growth habit helps suppress weeds and keeps the soil cool and moist for neighboring plants. |
