Growing instructions

Alyssum seedlings can tolerate light frost, but plants are often killed by freezing temperatures. Sow the seeds directly and spread the seeds with spacing of 2 inches between seeds and barely cover them with soil. When the seedlings have more than four leaves, thin to 6 inches (15 cm) apart in all directions.
