Product description
Sweet William Crown Double Mixed is a charming and versatile biennial that produces clusters of large, double blooms in an array of vibrant colours, including shades of pink, red, and white. The flowers are not only visually stunning but also highly fragrant, making them a popular choice for cottage gardens, borders, and containers. These plants typically grow to a height of 45-60 cm, creating a striking display that attracts pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, to your garden.
To grow Sweet William Crown Double Mixed, sow the seeds from May to July in a well-prepared seed bed. The seeds can be sown under glass for early germination or directly outdoors in a sunny or partially shaded location. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing positions in September or October, spacing them about 20cm apart. These plants thrive in well-drained, fertile soil and benefit from regular watering during dry periods.
Sweet William flowers are typically ready to harvest from May to July the following year. For the best fragrance and floral display, pick the blooms when they are fully open. These long-lasting flowers are perfect for cutting and can be used to create stunning bouquets that bring the charm of your garden indoors. Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms and prolong the flowering season, making Sweet William Crown Double Mixed a delightful addition to any garden.
