Sweet Alyssum Flower Seeds Dwarf Pink Ground Cover FREE SHIPPING

Sweet Alyssum Flower Seeds Dwarf Pink Ground Cover FREE SHIPPING Dwarf Pink Sweet Alyssum is a favorite of gardeners, prized for its masses of fragrant flowers and used as an edging plant, ground cover or addition to the border. Plants bloom quickly from seed. Plants tolerate a range of growing conditions and are easily grown. ‘Dwarf Pink’ makes an excellent edging plant as it grows only 2-4 inches tall 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.

While not frost tolerant, sweet alyssum plants will self sow and can provide you with year after year of bright color in milder climates.Learning how to plant alyssum is easy. You can also plant sweet alyssum flowers from seed straight into the garden in mild climates. Choose a location that has full sun, although sweet alyssum plants can tolerate partial shade as well. Prepare the soil prior to planting by weeding, working in organic amendments and raking out any obstructions. Before transplanting your seedlings, check the drainage in your soil by digging a hole and filling it with water. If soil doesn’t drain quickly, work in compost, leaf litter or grit, such as sand, to increase the porosity of the soil. Keep the bed weed free to reduce competition for resources and provide even moisture. SEED STORING Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location. Most seeds have a long shelf life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short. Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.

Alyssum, Sweet DWARF ROYAL CARPET 2-4″ Tall Purple Groundcover AAS Winner Perennial Non-GMO 1000 SeedsFresh – No Filler – Pure Seed – Non-GMOA very versatile flower, “Royal Carpet” can be planted just about any time throughout the season both indoors and out.Heirloom variety and All-America Selections winnerTender Perennial (Perennial in temperate climates)Grows 2-4 inches tallBlooms very quickly from seedPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONGrow Heirloom Alyssum – Plant Royal Carpet Sweet Alyssum SeedsLobularia maritimaThe “Royal Carpet” variety of Alyssum is the taller and more colorful strain of its close cousin – Alyssum “Carpet of Snow”. A very versatile flower, “Royal Carpet” can be planted just about any time throughout the season both indoors and out. Make sure Alyssum “Royal Carpet” seeds are properly watered to stimulate healthy germination.One of the easiest annuals to grow, Dwarf Royal Carpet Sweet Alyssum adds color and fragrance to the front of flowerbeds or along the edge of walkways. It’s also a very charming plant for patio containers and window boxes. This heirloom variety and All-America Selections winner, grows just 2-4 inches tall. When it blooms, the masses of purple flowers can cover most of the foliage. Sweet Alyssum grows very quickly and easily from seed. Its seed can be started indoors about 4-6 weeks before the last frost date in your region, or the seeds can be directly sown into the garden. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Dwarf Royal Carpet Sweet Alyssum is part of the Parfum de Bloom™ series. The varieties in this series are reliably, powerfully and delightfully fragrant.Sweet alyssum flowers (Lobularia maritima syn. Alyssum maritimum) are useful in alpine rock gardens, borders, planters, hanging baskets and dry zones.They are small plants that may get 3 to 6 inches tall and produce clusters of tiny flowers in clumps. Flowers arise in June to October and can be encouraged to rebloom by cutting back spent flowers.Lobularia maritima is a mat-forming annual or short-lived perennial native to the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Azores, where it grows along the coast in rocky, sunny areas. This herbaceous plant in the mustard family (Brassicaeae) is commonly used as a bedding plant called alyssum or sweet alyssum and is widely available in market packs at nurseries and garden centers in the spring. The common name refers to the genus in which it was formerly classified. Sweet alyssum can be used as a seasonal ground cover. Cotyledons are rounded and bright green, while the first true leaves are longer and narrower. The spreading mounds have well-branched stems covered with small linear leaves. The alternate, gray-green leaves are oval to lanceolate without any indentations. Because it is shallow-rooted, low, and spreading, it makes a good living mulch or seasonal ground cover. The small flowers are attractive to beneficial insects. Flowers are produced over a long time – through the growing season or year-round in mild climates without frost. Each tiny flower has four petals. Many flowers are clustered together in dense terminal heads (racemes) and the plants may bloom so profusely that the foliage is completely obscured. The sweet smelling flowers have a honey-like fragrance and are very attractive to bees, flower flies, stingless wasps and butterflies. It is a particularly good nectar plant for beneficial insects as those tiny insects can easily access the tiny nectaries of the small flowers. Flowers are followed by flat round seedpods. The flower stalk elongates as the seeds ripen. The silicle (a dry pod-like fruit, a shortened (less elongated) version of a silique; also sometimes spelled as silicula or silicule) contains two yellowish to brown oval seeds, one in each half separated by a papery white skin. Alyssum is used as a bedding plant in annual or mixed borders and in containers. It combines nicely with many other short-statured annuals, such as shorter zinnias and marigolds, bright blue Lobelia, celosia, and snapdragons. It works well as an edging plant, as an airy filler among young perennials, or as a ground cover when planted in masses. It can be overplanted among bulbs such as tulips and daffodils to fill in the area as the spring bloomers go dormant, or underplanted beneath clematis, daylilies or roses where its dense growth helps smother weeds. It is especially nice placed where it can spill over the edge of a container or hanging basket, or where its billowy blooms can cascade down a slope in a rock garden. Alyssum is frequently used as a filler in containers or to cascade down the planter’s edge. This prostrate annual grows well in full sun in cool climates but may do better in partial shade in hot climates. It needs average, well-drained soil with medium moisture. Although it may reseed, it is best to transplant starts in spring for the best flower display (especially in short growing seasons). It is very easy to grow from seed, either sown directly in the garden or indoors several weeks before the average last frost. Barely cover the seed, as it needs light to germinate. Transplants that have been hardened off can be placed in the garden a week or two before the average last frost, otherwise tender transplants should be protected until add danger of frost is past. It will start flowering within 6-8 weeks from sowing. Although it will tolerate short dry periods, alyssum does best with consistent moisture. Do not fertilize heavily, as too fertile soil will promote more foliar growth than flowers. If plants are too wet or crowded, the dense growth may lead to rotting. Alyssum will flower more profusely if deadheaded. Overgrown or leggy plants or those with more seedpods than flowers can be sheared back to improve the appearance of the plant and promote reflowering. Like many brassicas, growth and flowering slows in hot weather; the plants will look ragged in the heat of summer but will revive with cooler temperatures and last well into the fall. Light shearing, watering and light fertilization at this time will aid in their recovery. Older clumps may “split” as flowering only occurs on the outer edges and not in the center.FAST FACTSName: Sweet Alyssum Seeds (Dwarf) – Royal CarpetBotanical Name: Lobularia maritimaLife Cycle: Tender PerennialLight Requirement: Full SunPlanting Season: Spring, FallPlant Type: Dwarf, Dense Ground Cover, Multi-Stemmed and Spreading Habit, Ovate Leaf ShapeFeatures: Heirloom, Ground Cover, Fragrant, Drought Tolerant, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Attracts Pollinators, Container Garden, Poor Soil TolerantColor: White, PurpleBlooms: Spring, Late Spring, Early Summer, Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall, FallDays to Maturity: 60-90 DaysPlant Height: 4-6 inchesPlant Spacing: 2-4 inchesPlanting Depth: 1/16 inchSowing Method: Direct SowCold Stratification: NoHardiness Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10Ships: Year RoundAdvantages of this flowerEasy To Grow, Attract Butterflies, Attract Birds, Bee Friendly, Low Maintenance, Good For Cut Flowers, Extended Bloom Time (more than 4 weeks), Great For Mass Plantings, Multiplies / Naturalizes Zones 3 – 10 Easy To Grow Attract Butterflies Attract Birds Bee Friendly Low Maintenance Good For Cut Flowers Extended Bloom Time (more than 4 weeks) Great For Mass Plantings Multiplies / Naturalizes Light Requirements Full Sun Half Sun / Half ShadeGROWING INSTRUCTIONS for AlyssumWHEN TO PLANT ALYSSUM SEEDSPlant outdoors directly after the last frost of the season or start indoors 5-6 weeks before last frost.WHERE TO PLANT ALYSSUM SEEDSPlant in full sun where available (6-8 hours of sun per day), Alyssum will tolerate partial shade (4-6 hours of sun per day).
