How to Care

  • Dianthus Sweet Williams has the perfect size to be grown in pots and containers. They can be grown from seeds easily and can be positioned at will as they can survive full sun to partial shade.
  • The best time to sow is 2-8 weeks before spring, that is February in India. To directly sow, the seeds should be planted ⅛ inches deep in a rich, fertile, well-drained soil. It will take 10-15 days to germinate. 
  • On germination, the seedling should be transferred into a medium-large pot and should be positioned where they could obtain 4-5 hours of sun daily. 
  • Moisture retention is important for the plant to bloom and thus the soil should be mulched often to improve air circulation. The plants cannot bear overwatering, thus watering should be kept at a check. 
  • Some of the pests and insects that can infect Dianthus Sweet Williams include sowbugs, grasshoppers, nematodes, slugs and Aphids. The pests can be controlled by watering the leaves with a hose and by applying pesticides at regular intervals.

It's very good

I thank this website. It's trustworthy and the seed grew well. Unfortunately, only one seed grew and the flower bloomed. I don't know if it's my weather condition or my soil the rest did not germinate. Other than that the sunflower looks great!!

I tried paper towel method to germinate them.And they germinated within 3 days.Now they are growing day by day.Waiting for the flower to bloom.But the germination percentage is quite low.So try to sow the seeds in the entire pack at one go.
