Growing Tips for New Zealand
Sow seeds directly onto the surface of moist, well-drained soil or seed-raising mix — do not cover, as light aids germination. Sow in spring or autumn in most NZ regions. Alyssum thrives in full sun to light shade and tolerates coastal conditions well. Shear back lightly after the first flush of flowers to encourage a fresh wave of blooms. Ideal for filling gaps between pavers, softening border edges, and spilling over the sides of containers.
