What should I do with plants in the fall? Will they need special care? Will they come back in spring? Also, can they be transplanted? May I divide them?
Did you grow the annual Sweet Alyssum? Your expired plants will not return as a perennial, they have lived their lifespan and should be removed.
Here is a link with more information.

If you planted the perennial Basket-Of-Gold Alyssum, which is a perennial, you can trim the dead portions away and the plants will began to grow when the weather and soil warms.

My bedding plants of Alyssum are all brown from last year. Do I need to cut them right back now or just leave them to start their regrowth cycle?

Can I plant alyssum with star jasmine in the same pot ? Thank you .
Sure, alyssum can be a nice bottom filler in a pot. Make sure you have enough space for your plants.
I'm looking for instructions on splitting cuttings and transplanting Gold Alyssum. Can you assist?

If I planted Alyssum seeds today how long would it be (approximately) before I would see flowers (not germinate, actually see blooms)?
Thanks, Downtoearthdigs!
Germination in approx 14 days, and flowering in approx 8 to 12 weeks.
For the last few years I've been able to purchase what the garden center calls "aggressive alyssum". I have no idea what it's Latin name is. It spreads to about 18 " and is an annual. What should I do to maintain blossoming when it appears spent and dying out?
Alyssum likes moist soil so put it in a place with other moisture-loving plants. A gentle shearing, fertilizer and water may get your plants flowering again. Almost all plants that bloom all summer use up their springtime fertilizer by now and need another, more modest dose. The heat of summer is brutal on many plants and flowering may cease but more vigorous flowering resumes with cooler weather.
