sweet alyssum

The Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia 'Inblusnopr' SNOW PRINCESS) should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch. This will occur every few days during the growing season, but may be more frequent in hot, dry conditions. The amount of water needed will depend on the climate, soil type, and other environmental conditions. However, generally, sweet alyssum should be watered deeply but infrequently to allow the soil to dry out between watering. Avoid drowning the soil or constantly overwatering as this can cause root rot. It is best to water in the morning to allow excess water to evaporate in the sunlight.

Sweet alyssum, a member of the mustard family, should receive full sunlight for at least 5-6 hours per day. During the summer months, this plant prefers an average of 8 hours of sunlight per day. When the temperatures are cooler, then it is best to protect sweet alyssum from direct sunlight and limit the amount of time the plant is exposed to direct sunlight. During the winter months, indirect sunlight for 4-5 hours per day is best for the plant's growth.

Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia 'Inbusnopr' SNOW PRINCESS) is a drought tolerant, low-growing annual that is best known for its abundance of fragrant white flowers. It should be pruned twice per growing season, once in the early spring to remove dead stems from the previous year, and then once more after it has finished blooming in the summer. This pruning will help to encourage bushier and more compact growth and to prevent it from becoming leggy or overcrowded. To perform the spring pruning, use sharp, clean pruning shears to remove any stems that are showing signs of dieback or disease. For the summer pruning, wait until the plant has finished blooming and then trim off the stems that are beyond the desired shape or size of your sweet alyssum. This will help to ensure that the plant produces new flowers and foliage during the growing season.
