Sweet Alyssum Flower Seeds Royal Carpet Dwarf Purple Ground Cover FREE SHIPPING This heirloom variety was an AAS winner in 1953. ‘Royal Carpet’ is very dwarf, growing to only 2-4 inches tall. It blooms quickly from seed, is easy to grow and makes a great addition as an edging plant in the border. Sowing: Direct sow in spring, after the soil warms. Press the seed into the surface of the soil, since it needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. The seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date of spring. Keep the soil lightly moist, and transplant the seedlings as soon as there is no chance of frost. Growing: Keep the plants watered, since they do not appreciate dry soil. To encourage rebloom, cut the plant back by one third. In the heat of summer, blooming will decrease. This plant makes an excellent ground cover or container plant, and attracts butterflies and bees. It may reseed in good growing conditions.
