McKinstry Farms • Tips from Farmer Will

Water regularly, especially in hot weather.
Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Farmer Will's Tip:
"Give alyssum a light trim midseason if it gets leggy — it’ll bounce back with fresh blooms."
Well-drained soil.
Light fertilizing every 4–6 weeks keeps it lush.
Alyssum’s sweet fragrance is strongest in the morning and evening!
