Approx. 30 to 40 seeds per pack.

Bring a splash of brilliant yellow colour to your winter garden with Alyssum Yellow Seeds.

Yellow Alyssum develops into a compact, spreading flowering plant covered with clusters of small yellow blooms. Its low-growing habit makes it particularly attractive along pathways, at the front of flower beds, around rocks, and in containers.

When grown in suitable winter conditions, established plants can produce a dense floral display that adds colour and texture to balconies, terraces and home gardens.

• Pots and containers

• Flower beds

• Garden borders

• Pathway edging

• Rock gardens

• Balcony gardens

• Mass planting

• Winter seasonal displays

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Best Sowing Time

For hot plains and warmer climates of Pakistan, sow during:

November–December

Avoid very hot weather, as Alyssum performs best under cooler growing conditions.

2. Prepare the Growing Medium

Use a light, fertile and well-draining seed-starting mixture.

A suitable mixture may contain:

• Cocopeat or fine garden soil

• Well-decomposed compost or vermicompost

• Sand or another drainage-improving material

The growing medium should remain moist but should never stay waterlogged.

3. How to Sow

Alyssum seeds are small.

• Spread the seeds gently over the surface of moist growing medium.

• Press them lightly into the surface.

• Cover only with a very thin layer of fine growing medium.

• Do not bury the seeds deeply.

4. Watering

After sowing, water gently with a fine mist or gentle shower.

Keep the growing medium consistently slightly moist during germination.

Avoid heavy watering because it can displace the tiny seeds.

5. Light

Keep the seed tray or pot in a bright location.

After seedlings become established, gradually provide good sunlight.

Mature plants generally flower best with plenty of sunlight during the cooler months.

6. After Germination

Once seedlings develop several true leaves:

• Remove weak or overcrowded seedlings.

• Maintain adequate spacing.

• Transplant carefully if seedlings were started in a nursery tray.

Avoid damaging the young roots during transplantation.

7. Planting in Pots

For container growing, use a pot with proper drainage holes.

Several plants can be grown together in a wider container to create a fuller flowering display, while maintaining enough space for healthy airflow and growth.

8. Feeding

Mix well-decomposed compost or vermicompost into the growing medium before planting.

Once plants are established, light balanced feeding may be provided according to plant condition and the fertilizer being used.

Avoid excessive nitrogen because it may encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowering.

9. Flowering Care

Remove old or faded flowers when practical to keep plants tidy and encourage continued growth.

Maintain moderate watering and avoid continuously wet soil.

Important Growing Tips

• Sow during cool weather.

• Do not bury the tiny seeds deeply.

• Keep the soil moist during germination.

• Avoid waterlogging.

• Provide good sunlight after establishment.

• Ensure adequate drainage and airflow.

• Protect young seedlings from excessive rain and strong irrigation.

• Flowering and growth can vary according to temperature, sunlight, soil, watering and local growing conditions.
