HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in spring, after the soil warms. Press the seed into the surface of the soil, since it needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. The seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date of spring. Keep the soil lightly moist, and transplant the seedlings as soon as there is no chance of frost.

Growing: Keep the plants watered, since they do not appreciate dry soil. To encourage rebloom, cut the plant back by one third. In the heat of summer, blooming will decrease. This plant makes an excellent ground cover or container plant, and attracts butterflies and bees. It may reseed in good growing conditions.

Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.

Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the plant will produce seed pods. Watch the pods carefully, since they eventually split and release their seeds. Harvest Tall White Sweet Alyssum flower seeds as soon as they ripen to their mature light brown color. The entire plant can also be removed and spread out to dry, and the seeds removed from the pods. Store Tall White Sweet Alyssum flower seeds in a cool, dry place.

Prompt Service, Excellent Packaging

I received the Alyssum seeds promptly via 1st class mail. I was very pleased to note that the seeds were sent in a mylar seed package which will extend the self life of the seeds appreciably. I have not planted the seeds yet, so I can not comment on germination.

Sweet Smelling Lovely Flowers

I love seeds from Everwilde Farms. I have grown these for years, and love their sweet smell and the fact that they grow tall, which is a plus for pressing them

DESCRIPTION

These sweet-scented flowers create a heavenly cloud for your winged friends in the backyard. Popular for borders or groundcover, this annual may also be planted in containers. This annual is easy to grow and produces loads of white blossoms without much effort.
This attractive member of the mustard family originally came from the rocky coasts of the Mediterranean region. The common name Alyssum comes from a Greek word meaning "rabies," referring to the ancient belief that this plant had the ability to treat this disease. The genus name Lobelia honors the renowned Flemish botanist Mathias de Lobel.
