How To Plant Your Growing Paper

Growing Paper offers a variety of seed blends, but we’ve chosen Alyssum, also known in Afrikaans as heuningblom — meaning “honey flower.” We couldn’t think of a more fitting bloom. These small, white flowers have a gentle, honey-like fragrance and are beloved by bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. By planting your Growing Paper, you’re helping create a small patch of habitat that truly lives up to its name.

Below you’ll find a simple, step-by-step guide (from the team at Growing Paper) showing you exactly how to plant your Alyssum paper and give it new life.

Gently cover the paper with a thin layer of soil — it should still be slightly visible.

Keep the paper moist at all times, as seeds need consistent moisture to germinate.

Your Growing Paper should start sprouting within 5 to 14 days. Once your seedlings reach about 10 cm in height, you can transplant them into your garden.
