Sweet William Tall Single Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perDianthus barbatus
Tall Single Mix is a classic Sweet William producing dense clusters of beautifully fragrant single flowers in a broad range of pink, white, mauve and red shades, often with attractive contrasting markings and bi-coloured patterns.
Growing on tall, upright stems, this old-fashioned cottage garden favourite is excellent for borders, mass plantings and cutting gardens. The sweetly scented flowers have a good vase life and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
The flowers are also edible, with petals offering a mild, sweet clove-like flavour. They can be scattered through salads, used to decorate cakes and biscuits or added as a colourful garnish to drinks and other dishes. Remove the bitter white base of the petals before eating.
Sweet William is generally grown as a biennial or short-lived perennial and performs particularly well in cooler conditions. Plants prefer full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil.
Seed count: approximately 900 seeds/g
Approximately 400 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn to spring
Cold climates: Spring to summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, covering seed lightly with soil or seed-raising mix. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 20–30 cm apart in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Regular picking or deadheading encourages a longer flowering display, or allow selected flower heads to mature for natural self-seeding.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
