Sweet Alyssum 'Easter Bonnet'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Easter Bonnet is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Ideally plant in loamy, sandy and potting mix soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 7.5 as Easter Bonnet likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Easter Bonnet about 35 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Easter Bonnet is a very hardy plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
