Basket-Of-Gold Sweet Alyssum Perennial Seed Fragrant Yellow Blooms Basket-of-gold plants (Aurinia saxtilis) feature bright gold flowers that seem to reflect the sun?s golden rays. Although the individual flowers are small, they bloom in large clusters that intensify the effect. The plants grow a foot (30 cm.) high and as much as 2 feet (60 cm.) wide, and they make fantastic ground covers for sunny areas. This is a low-growing evergreen perennial that produces a profuse golden bloom from mid- to late spring. A stunning effect at the front of the garden, along walkways, or tumbling over rocks and walls. Named for its similarity to Alyssum, Basket of Gold is not a true Alyssum. Grow basket-of-gold flowers as perennials in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 7. They like a sunny location with average, well-draining soil. The plants perform poorly in rich or overly moist sites. Shear off the top one-third of the plants in summer after the petals drop. Shearing revitalizes the plants and prevents them from going to seed. Seeding; Indoors, start Aurinia seeds 8-10 weeks before planting out. Or direct sow in early spring or early autumn. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil. Light is required to help the seeds break their dormancy. At 10-12C (50-55F) Aurinia seeds will take 5 to 14 days to sprout. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Seed Shipping: Flat Rate Low Shipping fee- no matter how many seeds you order!
