Planted these in zone 4-5 this spring and nothing grew. I do have clay soil that I've been amending but I cant recommend these. If you are a super experienced gardener with great conditions you may have better luck.
Sweet Alyssum Seeds (Dwarf) - Royal Carpet
Store owner replied: Hello Dx. We appreciate you sharing your growing experience with this variety. We are sorry to hear that your Royal Carpet Sweet Alyssum did not germinate. We understand how discouraging it is when you've taken the time to improve your soil and still don't see the results you were hoping for. Sweet alyssum seeds are very small and perform best when sown on the soil surface or only lightly pressed into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Consistent moisture during germination is also important, and even amended clay soils can sometimes retain excess moisture or develop a surface crust that makes it difficult for tiny seedlings to emerge. Under favorable conditions, sweet alyssum is generally easy to grow and establishes quickly. We are grateful we had the opportunity to help. We stand behind our products and appreciate the chance to support you on your gardening journey!
