I direct sowed some Alyssum about a month ago. I have no idea what to look for in terms of seedlings. I don't want to actually pull any out, but at the same time, I don't want weeds to take over either. Also, does anyone know how long it takes to bloom from seed?? Thanks.

Boy, it's been a long time since I have done it from seeds but if I remember right it sort of looks like grass at first. but DON't pull anything until we get more confirmation. I wouldn't want to be responsible for a mass murder because I gave you wrong info.
