Sweet Alyssum Plant’s Care Instructions:

Soil: The plant prefers loamy soil and when grown in gardens, it is usually as a ground cover. In natural settings, it is commonly found on sandy beaches and dunes. Alyssum can also grow on cultivated fields, walls, slopes, and even in cracks in sidewalks or walls. The plants will do poorly in boggy soil or where drainage is a particular problem.

Light: Sweet Alyssum loves full sun, but it does not like prolonged dry periods. If your region is especially hot and dry, a slightly shaded area will work best for this plant. Take note of times of hot and dry weather, as the plant will need extra water. It can get stem rot or leaf blight, especially when too much shade prevents the leaves and soil from completely drying out.

Water: Provide at least an inch of water every week and more during hot or dry spells. Make sure the water drains well, otherwise the plant is susceptible to rot. botrytis blight Bis also a known problem when the Alyssum grows in extremely wet areas.

Fertilizer: In-ground Sweet Alyssum plants should not need any fertilizer unless your soil is poor. Container alyssum plants will need more frequent water and monthly feedings. Use a water-soluble fertilizer for the container plants.
