How to Prune sweet alyssum?
Sweet alyssum is a fragrant annual known for its low-growing, spreading habit and prolific tiny blooms. To maintain its compact shape and encourage continuous blooming, trim back by one-third after the first flush of flowers. This tidies up the plant and stimulates new growth. Optimal pruning occurs from early to late spring before the plant enters its peak blooming phase. Regular deadheading also prolongs the flowering period. Ensure clean, sharp shears for best results.
