Small Alyssum (Alyssum alyssoides) prefers full sun exposure for at least 6 to 8 hours per day. The ideal environment for this plant species would be a bright, sunny window sill, or an outdoor spot that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. In areas with strong summer sunlight, providing a bit of afternoon shade can help protect the plant from excessive heat. Providing indirect light in the winter months is also ideal for this species.

Small Alyssum (Alyssum alyssoides) is a perennial species of plant that typically blooms in the early spring. It is a low-growing and mounding plant that features small, fragrant yellow flowers. Pruning should be done after blooms have started to fade, typically in early summer. This type of pruning should be minimal, removing dead or dying foliage only. During the growing season, only the tips of the stems should be trimmed to maintain shape and size. When the plant is done blooming for the season, a more extensive pruning can be done. Cut the plant back up to a third of its size to encourage new growth.
