Description

Such a classy, glamorous mix of colours with different tones of purple into crimson, so that however you pick and arrange these sweet Williams, they look good. They have the longest vase life of any plant we grow (nearly a month) and have a sweet scent – they are THE perfect cut flower.

Care Tips

Water once a week and mulch once established to keep the soil moist. A balanced liquid feed every couple of months will encourage more blooms. Cut flowers for the vase or deadhead regularly.
