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.

Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.

Pruning: Lightly trim back plants after flowering for a bushier appearance.
