The Alyssum needs frequent watering, every two days during the spring season and every day during the hot summer days. Regarding the fertilization of the Alyssum , it needs special attention as excessive fertilization, especially nitrogen, can reduce flowering. In mid-summer, it is necessary to prune the Alyssum, halfway through its growth, removing the dried flowers.
