Sweet William Tall Double Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perDianthus barbatus
Tall Double Mix is a classic Sweet William producing dense clusters of beautifully fragrant flowers in a broad range of colours including white, pink, rose, mauve and deep red, with many blooms displaying 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 long-lasting, sweetly scented flowers make beautiful additions to bouquets, while blooms left in the garden attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Sweet William is generally grown as a biennial or short-lived perennial, developing leafy plants before producing an abundant floral display. It performs particularly well in cooler conditions and prefers full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil.

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.
