Sweet is right Review by Roger - Poplar Grove , IL
Posted on 2012-11-09 00:38:10

I got this in a small garden kit and did not know what to expect. Well long story short I just planted 15 more. They look and smell sweet. They grow fast and look nice all season. I'm sad I have no more room for more. I recommend getting at least one set for every garden.




Tough plant - winters well Review by Marcine - Firestone, CO

I have several Sweet William plants in my garden and I find they tolerate the cold very well. They are one of the first plants to green up in the spring. I like to cut mine back after the first bloom.




Sweet, luscious blooms Review by Bonnie Mekelburg - Omaha, NE
Posted on 2012-06-20 21:59:15

I received my Sweet Williams in the small butterfly garden kit last year. At first I was worried because the stems were so thin at the base. Even coming up this year, it was the same. But then it seemed like all of a sudden, I had gorgeous, sweet-smelling blooms that were GORGEOUS! Deep, rich, velvety pinks and near-purples...soo pretty...and each one, a different shade. I planted my plants close together, so they have wound their way to the lower front of the garden. Thank goodness, because it makes it easier to breathe in their yummy scent! So amazing!
