HOW TO GROW
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.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the plant will produce seed pods. Watch the pods carefully, since they eventually split and release their seeds. Harvest Tall White Sweet Alyssum flower seeds as soon as they ripen to their mature light brown color. The entire plant can also be removed and spread out to dry, and the seeds removed from the pods. Store Tall White Sweet Alyssum flower seeds in a cool, dry place.

I received the Alyssum seeds promptly via 1st class mail. I was very pleased to note that the seeds were sent in a mylar seed package which will extend the self life of the seeds appreciably. I have not planted the seeds yet, so I can not comment on germination.
Sweet Smelling Lovely Flowers
I love seeds from Everwilde Farms. I have grown these for years, and love their sweet smell and the fact that they grow tall, which is a plus for pressing them

I'm raising honey bees and this flower will help them, great package the seeds came in
