sweet williams

Hi All
if when my sweet williams have finished flowering rather than remove them from the garden if i cut them right back would they flower again next year.
I look forward to your replies
Thanks

Give it a try. Some are perennial, some not. Depends on the conditions. You could save some seed though! Then at least you would get some the year after next!

Duplicate question.
I have just answered this elsewhere.

Hi anngel
thanks for your reply it just seems a shame after the beautiful flowers this year to pull out and throw the roots away after taking 2 years to get there but if i have to i will save the seeds and do it all again
Thanks

Keep them then, roizee -just cut them back and see what happens!

i remember my nan having a flowerbed of them... she never touched them at all...they came back year after year... i used to knock the seeds out as a kid all the time, they just grew every year
