Planting & Care

Sow Wild Sweet William seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed in fall or early spring. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain consistent moisture and keep the soil temperature around 65-70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient.

Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location in partial to full shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
