  • Easy to grow and well-suited for beginner gardeners
  • Versatile use in borders, containers, rock gardens, and walkways
  • Self-seeding habit encourages return blooms year after year

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors for earlier blooms. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as light aids germination, and keep soil evenly moist until established. Plant in full sun to partial shade with moderate watering. Alyssum thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates a wide range of garden conditions.

Care & Garden Use:
Trim lightly after heavy flowering to encourage fresh growth and continued blooming. Allow some plants to set seed to promote natural reseeding and long-term ground cover.
