It is a classic cottage garden plant in a compact, bushy form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Diabunda series is known for its strong, free-flowering habit and a display that runs across spring and autumn, longer than many traditional bedding plants. The narrow, mid-green leaves make a tidy mound, and the flowers attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to a cell. Plant them in full sun in well-drained soil, in a border, a patio container or along a path edge. Sweet William is hardy, so it will sit through a British winter outdoors. Water regularly without letting the roots sit in wet soil, and remove spent blooms to encourage more flowers. The sap can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet William, Dianthus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dianthus barbatus and Dianthus chinensis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-30cm tall and 20-25cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, bushy, upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny borders, flower beds, patio containers, balcony planters, cottage gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow, mid-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, sheltered spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, deadhead regularly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy bedding plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68016928194780,"sku":"COL-6PK-SWE-DIA-PURX1","price":21.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_7d92f958-54d3-41d3-8f9c-a669082287c2.png?v=1793630614","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-swe-dia-purx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
