I did try it a few years ago, but it was not successful, the SW particularly are hard to prick out. I have gone back to sowing in the vegetable patch in mid summer. |

I sow in pots because seedlings in the ground end to get taken by slugs. I treat both as perennials so don't worry about timing. I sow April-May but whether that's the best time I haven't a clue! I don't transplant until they're at the small plant stage, and sometimes I simply plant out in small clumps - depends how bored I get. -- Kay |

Sweet William and Wallflowers
Just planted Sweet William seeds in cell trays,, one per cell ( hopefully)
As soon as they are big enough they will be potted on to larger cells to grow. Done this every 2 years for several years, always get a good show. Cineman West Midlands "Bill P." wrote in message ...
