Growing Instructions:

Sweet William Herald of Spring (Dianthus barbatus) can be effectively grown by planting seeds indoors between February and April in a light, well-draining seed compost. Because seeds require light to sprout, spread them out on the surface and gently press to keep the compost damp but not soggy. Typically, germination takes ten to fourteen days. After the last frost, which usually occurs in mid-May, seedlings should be moved into individual pots and allowed to gradually harden off before being planted outdoors. Plants should be spaced 20 to 25 cm apart in a sunny, well-drained location with rich soil. To promote continual blooms, deadhead spent flowers and water sparingly during dry spells. Every year, this resilient perennial adds vivid, long-lasting colour to borders, beds, and containers.
