mountain gold alyssum

Mountain gold alyssum should be watered regularly, and deeply. It prefers moist soil that is well-draining, so water at least once a week during the summer months, and every other week in the winter. Water in the early morning, making sure to wet the entire root system. Soak the soil until it is damp at least a few inches below the surface. Make sure not to over-water as this species does not like to be soggy.

Mountain gold alyssum (Alyssum montanum 'Berggold') requires full sun for optimal growth. At least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun per day is recommended. If possible, the best times for this species to receive sunlight are in the morning and late afternoon when the sun’s rays are not so intense. This species can also tolerate some partial shade throughout the day, but should not be placed in full shade as it will not thrive. Additionally, the soil should be well-drained to encourage healthy growth and blooming.

Mountain Gold Alyssum (Alyssum montanum 'Berggold') should be pruned in the early spring, before new growth begins. Begin by removing any dead, withered, or damaged stems. This will help ensure the plant remains healthy and will help it flower abundantly. Pruning can then be done by shortening any overly long stems back to a more manageable length. This should be done every couple of years to promote strong, healthy growth and an abundance of flowers.
