Love Sweet Williams as well! I always add more when I find new varieties

Do you know if they can be propagated by cutting? When I collect seeds it ends up being a mix of all my colors but my favorite is the dark red one

I would be surprised if it didn’t work. They are dianthus and I have successfully done carnations. Try it!

Oh you have carnations? Post a pic here! We would love to see them

I don’t any longer. The stems snap too easily. Sweet Williams are a bit sturdier.

Re dark red ones. If you want to try seeds look for the variety “Sooty” those are nice!
