Growing Instructions:
Sweet William Super Duplex Mix (Dianthus barbatus) seeds can be sown outdoors in late spring or early autumn, or they can be sown indoors 6–8 weeks prior to the last anticipated frost.

Give the soil a little moisture, but not too much; germination takes 10 to 20 days. Once established, space plants 8–12 inches apart. Although early seeding may result in first-year flowers, Sweet William is a hardy biennial that usually forms foliage the first year and blooms in the second year. Its tall, double, fragrant flowers, which draw pollinators, bloom from late spring to early summer. For a naturalised garden, deadhead to prolong flowering and permit reseeding.
