I live in New Hampshire and I'm a novice at gardening. I planted several alyssums and they're remarkably hardy little plants. I'd like to move some of them onto a hillside to use as ground cover in the Spring. Can I use some of the plants I already have? Do I transfer the entire plant or cut off the tops and shake the seeds? Is it too late, we've had frost early this year.
Thank you so much. I'm delighted I found this website! It's quite interesting and encouraging to read postings from so many levels of hands on experience
My alyssum's are annuals but I've read they will come back next year. I'd like to use some of the existing plants in another area of my yard. Do I uproot and replant existing plants in the new area? Or do I cut back the tops and shake seeds into the soil in the new area? (can you tell I'm a babe in the woods...).
We've had some warm days this week and I'd like to take advantage of it!
Being annuals, they probably would not handle being moved. Collect the seeds and save them til spring, then resow them where you want them. You can divide the seeds and sow some now and some in the spring. Either way will work.
