Do not plant outside until after the danger of frost has passed. For early spring blooms in cooler zones, germinate the seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost under a grow light and in warm soil, at least 60°F. Before transplanting, harden off the seedlings by gradually lengthening the time they spend outdoors. To increase the drainage of your soil, work compost, sand, or ground-up mulch into the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater the plants regularly but ensure that the leaves and the top 1-2 inches of soil can fully dry between irrigations. Although it is not necessary, pruning off any branches whose leaves have completed blooming can encourage a more desirable and compact growth habit. In exceptionally hot and arid climates, provide part shade and a coating of mulch at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEaster Bonnet Series Alyssum in the Flower Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Alyssums will gladly attract beneficial insects of all kinds to pollinate your landscape or garden. Alyssum is also the perfect plant to fill in areas and prevent weeds while spring bloomers like Arabis or tulips are inactive. Similarly, it works nicely underneath larger plants like roses and clematis to protect the soil and roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLandscape Use of Easter Bonnet Series Alyssum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEaster Bonnet Series Alyssum is perfect for pots and containers. It easily bulks out the lower area and spills over the edge to allow other, taller flowers room to bloom above it. It is also used in some pest management practices for its ability to draw insects to the garden that eat or sabotage common garden pests such as aphids and spider mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Easter Bonnet Series Alyssum Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn zones 9 and higher, Alyssum can also be grown as a perennial but should be kept in check with regular pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlyssum is considered invasive in some locations of the world. Check with your local extension about laws and policies if you have questions specific to your area.
