A classic cottage-garden favourite, it brings bright colour to borders, beds, raised beds, containers and cut-flower gardens, and the blooms last well in a vase. The flowers are popular with bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light, clove-like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial or short-lived perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clump-forming, upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–20 in (30–50 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–12 in (20–30 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA zones 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Sow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best display, sow outdoors or in trays from late spring to midsummer; the plants will establish over summer and flower the following year. For a chance of some flowers in the first year, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ⅛ inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist; seedlings usually appear in 10–14 days at around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Thin or transplant to 8–12 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, as Sweet William dislikes wet roots. Space plants to allow good air circulation. Remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms, or leave a few to set seed if you would like plants to self-sow for future years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45718471901367,"sku":"PL-21JAN-91","price":16.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__35mm-film-photography-ultrarealistic-floral-photog__18046.png?v=1767937100","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/sweet-william-summertime-mix-seeds-dianthus-barbatus-mixed-colour-garden-flowers","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
