Mr Fothergills Alyssum Snow Cloth 1250 Seeds

Alyssum - Snow Cloth

Snow cloth is easy to grow with long lasting, white blooms, which smother the plants.

Sow outdoors from March to May, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm apart. Water well until plants are established and keep weed free. Or sow indoors, February-April, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 10-15°C is ideal. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always handle by a leaf and never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, May to June, 15cm apart, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
