Sow at the recommended rate—roughly 4–6 seeds per plant or about 5000 seeds per 100 square feet—and space plants about 6 inches apart. For germination, aim for soil temperatures in the 60–70F range and keep the seed bed evenly moist until sprouts emerge, usually within 7–21 days. While not requiring deep burial, light surface coverage is not necessary for these seeds. In mixed borders, use alyssum as a trailing accent or a low ground cover to create a cohesive flow of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSowing guidelines: 5000 seeds per 100 square feet or 4–6 seeds per plant; no seed burial necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSite and soil: full sun to partial shade; ensure well-drained soil with a pH near 6.0–6.5.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this mix fits xeriscaping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its drought-tolerant character and compact habit, this mix is a practical choice for low-water landscapes.
