Carpet of Snow Alyssum

Planting:Annual flowers like Alyssum do well when planted indoors and then transplanted outside. Small seeds can usually be just sprinkled over top of the soil while larger seeds can be planted 1/4-1/2" deep. Alyssum is also fairly tolerant of cool spring weather.
Germination: Seeds usually take 7 to 14 days to sprout.
Transplant:When danger of frost is over, transplant to garden as close as 1" apart.
Soil and Light:Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Alyssum will do best in a well drained soil and will need plenty of water during hot spells. The plant likes partial shade and will produce flowers profusely if dead blooms are removed.
