Product information

    Create a carpet of snowy blooms this summer with this easy to grow variety which will flower from June through until September. The perfect ground cover plant for alpine and rockery gardens and coastal areas. Once in bloom will attract a flurry of pollinating insects.Sow alyssum seeds from late March to May at 15-29C (60-85F), on the surface of a good quality seed compost and gently firm down. Keep the soil damp but not wet and do not exclude light. Place in a propagator or seal the seed tray inside a polythene bag until after germination, which usually takes 7-30 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When alyssum plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun on light sandy, well drained soil at a distance of 30cm (12") apart. Alternatively, sow alyssum seed outdoors in May, directly into well prepared seed beds.Product SpecificationsPosition: Full SunHeight: Up to 10cm (3.9in) when fully establishedSpread: Up to 25cm (9.8in) when fully establishedSupplied as Flower Seed - Alyssum Carpet of Snow – Hardy Annual - Finished Packet (1000 seeds) by Thompson and MorganImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
