I have loads of these Sweet Williams all over my garden of different colours. Very easy to grow and the look spectacular.
J C Firstbrook –
Usually Sweet William are easy to grow from seed. This is the first time I have tried Fothergills and not this variety before, but very few have germinated. I have had to go to my usual supplier to get some more seed.
