Sweet William Pink

Day 19

Well my garden is still growing nice and green, though some of the flowers flatered a bit in the bit of heat we have had over the past few days, but the weather seems to be cooling off some, and most the plants seem to be doing just fine and are growing in nicely.

Sweet William Pink

Sweet William is a biennial which acts as a
perennial by re-seeding itself. If not allowed to set
seed, clusters of new plants form around the old stalk.
The plants grow 1 to 2 feet tall and bloom in midsummer.
Sweet William grows in slightly alkaline soil and likes a
warm sunny growing area. A planting will probably only
last 2 or 3 years and must then be replaced. The blossoms
are excellent cut flowers.

Propagation: Propagation is easiest by seed. The seed
germinates in 5 to 10 days at 70 degrees. The plants may
be propagated by cuttings and runner plants.
