Mr Fothergills Alyssum Gold Dust 150 Seeds

Alyssum - Gold Dust

Gold Dust produces bright yellow, spring blooms and contrasting grey-green foliage. It is an ideal 'carpeting' hardy perennial for edging, rockeries, dry walls etc.

Sow indoors for surest results from February to April, 0.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse, or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant individually, when large enough to handle, to 7.5cm pots. Always handle by a leaf and never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, from June to September, 30cm apart. Or, sow outdoors, from April to June, in a seed bed, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart, before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Flowers from March to June.
