You get 18 plants, growing in 2 trays of 9 cells, one plant to a cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Dianthus has richly coloured, densely packed flower clusters, and bees and butterflies are drawn to them. The blooms last well in a vase, so it is a good choice for a cutting garden as well as a mixed border. It makes compact, bushy, upright growth with neat, lance-shaped, mid-green leaves. It flowers from late spring through summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet William is hardy and will come through a British winter outdoors. Plant it in full sun in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, either in the ground or in pots and window boxes. The sap can irritate skin, in people and pets, so wear gloves when handling the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet William\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dianthus barbatus and Dianthus chinensis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30-60cm tall and 20-30cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming, with dense, flat-topped flowerheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cottage gardens, cut flower borders, mixed beds, containers, window boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lance-shaped, mid-green leaves forming a neat basal clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer (May to July)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet with a pale picotee edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring and summer flowers, scented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy biennial bedding plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061540835594,"sku":"COL-9PK-SWE-FES-VIO-PIC","price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/3_d8100cf1-303c-4891-9164-afd76072c2cc.png?v=1793895360","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-9pk-swe-fes-vio-pic","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
