Bring timeless charm and vivid colour to your garden with Sweet William ‘Messenger’ Mixed. This traditional biennial produces tall, fragrant flower heads in a joyful mix of pink, red, white, and deep plum – perfect for cutting gardens, wildlife borders, and classic cottage planting.

Easy to grow from seed, this variety thrives in sunny spots with free-draining soil, offering strong stems and a long-lasting floral display from late spring through summer. Loved by bees and butterflies, it’s as useful for pollinators as it is beautiful in a vase.

Sow from spring to early summer for flowering the following year, or try autumn sowing under cover for earlier blooms. With regular deadheading and a touch of care, Sweet William will reward you with a flourish of colour, scent, and seasonal joy.
