Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about Yellow Alyssum seed germination, flowering, and growing requirements.
Is Yellow Alyssum a perennial or an annual flower?
Yellow Alyssum (Aurinia saxatilis), also known as Basket of Gold, is a perennial flowering plant. It can return for multiple growing seasons in suitable climates, producing clusters of golden-yellow flowers during spring. It is different from sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima), which is commonly grown as an annual.
How do you grow Basket of Gold flowers from seeds?
Sow Basket of Gold seeds on the surface of a well-drained seed-starting mix and press them gently into the soil. Keep the medium lightly moist and provide suitable temperatures around 16–22°C (61–72°F). Seedlings can be transplanted into a sunny garden location once they are established.
Why is my Yellow Alyssum not flowering?
Yellow Alyssum may produce fewer flowers when it receives insufficient sunlight, grows in overly rich or wet soil, or experiences unsuitable growing temperatures. Provide a full-sun location, use well-drained soil, and avoid excessive watering. Remember that this perennial generally produces its main flower display during spring rather than continuously throughout the year.
