Alyssum Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Brighten your garden with Richgrow Seeds Alyssum Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Lobularia maritima), ideal for home gardeners seeking vibrant, fragrant blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Sweet Alyssum or Carpet of Snow, this variety produces clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers in white, pink, or purple, with a sweet, honey-like fragrance, perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, or ground cover, blooming continuously from 6–8 weeks after sowing through the growing season. Rich in nectar, alyssum attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity, while its low-growing habit adds aesthetic charm. The compact, spreading plants, growing 10–30 cm tall and 30–45 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in mild to warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) or early fall (September–October) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Punjab, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun to partial shade (4–6 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; scatter seeds lightly and press into soil, as they need light to achieve 85% germination within 7–14 days at 15–25°C. Keep soil moist with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2–3 days), deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like whiteflies. Trim plants to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth, with excellent durability as an ornamental. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Shear lightly after first bloom for repeat flowering; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
