G'day Jeremy,
Alyssums are pretty tough and as long as you have
reasonably fresh seed, I would tend to sow it directly in the garden bed.
Just sprinkle over the ground and water lightly so as not to wash it away.

Last time I did that, the survival rate was really small. It didn't
help that a paid gardiner sprayed the few that spouted with herbicide
though (along with a few other plants), but not even sure why my mum
hired them when I can spray herbicide anyway.
