Thought you might like these, this is what the packet said. – ‘This exclusive blend has been specially selected to flower in the first year from seed, a completely new and exciting concept for Sweet Williams. A fantastic mixture of lightly fragrant blooms to brighten up bedding and cottage gardens’.

Hi Denise ..
Those look lovely. Such pretty colours !
How long from sowing to flowering ?

Suey, Sweet Williams always do well for me and I dont have a clue why! They are easy to grow from seed I just pop some in the ground and some in seed compost. Thanks Scottish and Hywel and ST.
Thanks TT usually I find at least 20 months, but these I sowed around late September last year.

I agree with you Drc Sweet Williams are so pretty and prolific flowerers, they are the best thing in my garden at the moment and one of the few things that is standing upto the continual rains!
