Seed Talk with Lisa & Layne

#102 - Sweet William Variety Comparison with Dave Dowling


Listen Later

Confused by all the Sweet William varieties available? Wondering how to choose which ones to plant, if there are benefits to growing multiple varieties, and when to start your seeds? Today, Lisa and Layne are joined by Dave Dowling of Ball Seed to compare and contrast six varieties of Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus / Dianthus x barbatus). They discuss which varieties are true biennials, which can be grown as cool-season hardy annuals, planting times, what makes each variety unique, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn why each of these Sweet William varieties is worth growing!

The video version of Lisa and Layne's conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a ⁠⁠⁠⁠playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠.
