Sweet Williams is a short-lived perennial but I prefer to grow them as biennials so I sow fresh seeds each late spring/early summer so that they will flower the following spring.

Clusters of fragrant, bi-coloured flowers, these sweet Williams will bloom from mid-spring onwards.  Easy to grow, these fabulous traditional cottage garden plants also make wonderful cut flowers.

Seed Quantity: 500 Seeds

Type: Biennial

Genus: Dianthus barbatus

Sow Seeds: Sow sparingly into trays or directly outdoors from May-July.  Cover with a light covering of compost & firm down.  Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.  When large enough to handle prick out & pot on.

Plant Out: Plant out into final flowering positions by September.  Will flower the following spring.  Like full sun or light shade.  Deadhead flowers to encourage a second blooming.

Flowers: May-August

Height & Spread: 45cm high x 30cm spread
