The Sweet William is a traditional cottage garden flower coming in a range of flower colours and forms. It's technically a short-lived perennial, but is usually grown as a biennial, with seeds sown in summer for flowering plants the following year in late spring. Most flowers are beautifully scented and last well in the vase.

Alliums are a great addition to any bouquet with their showy flowerheads in shades of blue, purple, white and pink, bringing globes of colour in spring and early summer. They are good cut flowers and the dried flowerheads give a long lasting display.
