Alyssum

Often used as a bedding plant and for seasonal colour in pots and hanging baskets Alyssum is a hardy annual smothered in tiny blooms, much loved by insects.

For white flowers to for ‘Carpet of Snow’, alternatively try ‘Oriental Night’ with dramatic violet-purple flowers.

Although it is a hardy annual due to the small size of the seeds best results are obtained by sowing indoors between February and April. Sow into trays of Surestart Seed & Cutting Compost and keep at around 10-15c (50-60f).

Pot on small plants once established and gradually acclimatise to outside conditions over 2-3 weeks. Plant our form late April onwards and feed throughout the summer months with Nutri All Purpose Plant Food for longer lasting flowers.
