How to Germinate Alyssum Royal Carpet

How to Germinate Alyssum Royal Carpet (Lobularia maritima)

  • Sow seeds directly on the soil surface; do not cover as they need light to germinate.
  • Plant seeds in early spring after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Space seeds about 6 inches apart for optimal growth.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds sprout, usually within 7-14 days.
  • Place in a sunny location with well-draining soil for the best results.
  • Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for mature plants.

Additional Tips

  • Alyssum prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging the soil.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
  • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time for healthier growth.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.
