The vibrant flower heads sit atop sturdy stems, creating a bold display from late spring through early summer.\n\nGrowing 12–24 inches tall, Sweet William forms compact clumps of lance-shaped green foliage with rounded clusters of star-shaped flowers. The lightly spicy fragrance and bright colors attract bees and butterflies while making excellent cut flowers for fresh bouquets.\n\nTypically grown as a biennial (flowering in its second year), it may also behave as a short-lived perennial in mild climates. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and performs beautifully in borders, cottage gardens, and mixed beds.\n\nYou will receive:\n✔️ 100 Sweet William seeds\n✔️ Botanical name: Dianthus barbatus\n✔️ Open-pollinated seeds\n✔️ Untreated, non-GMO seeds\n✔️ Secure packaging\n\n🌿 Growing Information\nCommon Name: Sweet William\nBotanical Name: Dianthus barbatus\nPlant Type: Biennial (sometimes short-lived perennial)\nGrowth Rate: Moderate\nMature Height: 12–24 inches\nSpread: 10–14 inches\nSun: Full sun to light shade\nSoil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\nWater: Moderate\nUSDA Zones: 3–9\nDrought Tolerance: Moderate once established\nBloom Time: Late spring to early summer\nBloom Color: Red, pink, white, and bi-colors\n\n💡 Ideal for cottage gardens, borders, containers, pollinator gardens, and cut flower arrangements.\n\n🌱 Seed Germination Instructions\n\nSow outdoors in late spring or early summer for blooms the following year, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost.\n\nLightly cover seeds about 1\/8 inch deep.\n\nKeep soil evenly moist until germination.\n\nGermination typically occurs within 7–14 days.","brand":"FaithFolkStudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51589404459329,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/0758\/0993\/files\/f8a468b6-il_fullxfull.7757102016_9avy.jpg?v=1775787005","url":"https:\/\/faithfolkstudio.com\/products\/sweet-william-dianthus-barbatus-seeds-100-seeds-fragrant-cottage-garden-flower-biennial","provider":"FaithFolkStudio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
