Description

A cottage garden staple, these pretty Sweet Williams are first-year flowering and best grown as an annual. Use Dianthus 'Volcano Mix' in pots and borders where they will create a flush of red, purple, pink and coral single and bi-coloured blooms from May to June. Their sweet, clove-like scent makes fragrant bouquets for the house and lovely posies to give away as gifts. Height: 60cm (24”). Spread: 30cm (12”).   

Culinary note: Use the clove like tasting petals for adding to cakes, either for flavour or decorating, suitable for soups, salads and sauces too. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Sowing
Sow February to April. Germinate at 18-20C (64-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
