Growing Tips

For best results, sow outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost. Seeds should be planted just below the soil surface and kept evenly moist until germination. Under suitable conditions, germination usually occurs in about 14–20 days. Sweet William may form a leafy base in its first season and bloom strongly in the following season, though early-started plants may bloom sooner depending on climate and growing conditions.

If you want a flower that combines fragrance, old-fashioned beauty, pollinator appeal, and strong garden performance, Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) Mix Seeds are an excellent addition to any U.S. home garden.
