Sweet William Double Mixed

RM3.00, 120 seeds

Seeds origin: France

Hardy Biennial

Germination: 7-14 days
Ideal for: Bedding, cut flowers

Sweet William is an old-fashioned cottage garden plant that usually grows as a self seeding biennial. This strain produces a low mound of light green leaves, bearing showy clusters of bright double flowers in mixed shades from white through to pink, salmon and red, often with a contrasting eye. Excellent for edging or massing. 


Sowing instructions:Sow seeds directly outdoors. Space seeds 2 inches apart and cover with 1/8 to 1/4-inch fine soil and firm down over seed. Keep soil moderately moist during germination. 


Growing instructions:When plants are about 2 inches tall thin to 8 to 10 inches apart. Remove fading flowers to encourage more buds to form. Pruning plants back hard after blooming will encourage them to survive for another year.
