Germination Tips
- Best Sowing Time: Alyssum thrives in cooler temperatures. Sow in early spring (February-March) or late fall/early winter (October-November) for optimal blooms.
- Seed Starting: Alyssum prefers surface sowing. Scatter seeds over well-drained soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover completely as they need light to germinate.
- Ideal Temperature: 15-25°C (59-77°F)
- Germination Time: Expect seedlings to emerge within 15-20 days.
Planting Tips
- Sunlight: Alyssum loves full sun! Choose a spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is best. Amend with compost if needed.
- Spacing: Plant seedlings 6-8 inches apart for optimal spread.
Caring Tips
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot, dry spells. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base to avoid fungal diseases.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the flowering season.
- Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
- Pruning: Lightly trim back plants after flowering for a bushier appearance.
Disclaimer: Germination rates may vary. These tips are a guide, and you may need to modify them slightly based on your specific location and conditions.
