Why Grow This Variety

Growing Notes
- Sow into a fine, well-draining seedling mix and keep evenly moist.
- Avoid waterlogged soil because Alyssum performs best with good drainage.
- Plant seedlings in small clumps rather than pulling them apart too aggressively.
- Trim lightly after a flush of flowers to encourage fresh growth and repeat blooming.
