This is my first year with Sweet William flowers and I'll never be without them again. I'm starting more for next year's flowers and I hope the ones I have in the ground will reseed themselves. The more the merrier, I say! :) One thing I want to share with anyone who reads this comment is that I've had very little pest pressure with Sweet William, which is delightful. Happy growing, everyone!

Many thanks for this. Very few channels take the time to show the whole growing process (Easy Peasy Gardening is another) Having grown Sweet Williams for the first time last year, now I realise I had to thin them out. Yours look far better!

Hi Simon. Yes all plants need the right amount of space to grow into or else they compete for resources and are stunted. Keep safe.

Wow so beautiful flowers. Today I bought seeds . Hope it will grow ❤

[@LearnHow2]

They are beautiful. I have lots growing this year. Good luck with your growing!

This is probably a really silly question, but when you thin out plants do you keep the seedlings you've removed? I always feel like it's a waste removing them 🙈🤣 beautiful flowers! Thank you for showing the whole process.

Hi Jo. It is not a silly question. You can replant the seedings if you like. I too find it difficult to throw away healthy plants. Keep safe.

This is rhe flower I planted from seed. This is the only information I have found for this flower. Spring was beautiful but now the flowers are wilting and I have not found the proper way ro dead head the blooms. How do you dead head the blooms and will more blooms come? Also I need instructions on how to and when to divide them? They are worth coming every other year.

I just bought a sweet william plant from the garden centre and planted it in my garden. There are no flowers yet so does this mean it wont flower until next year I wonder ?

[@LearnHow2]

There's plenty of time yet. Given the right growing conditions it can flower up until October.

[@Carol......]

@@LearnHow2 Ok thank you, hopefully it might then ☺️👍

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Can you grow these in hanging baskets

[@LearnHow2]

I have never tried and I have never seen them in other people's hanging baskets. If you try please let me know if they grow ok. Best wishes.
