Sweet William Wee Willie

Sweet William Wee Willie is a delightful vintage favourite, bursting with cottage garden charm and cheerful personality. Its compact size makes it perfect for edging borders, tucking into pots, or adding a whimsical touch to mixed garden beds. But it’s the flowers that truly steal the show—petite, fringed, and richly clove-scented. Blooms appear in a playful medley of pinks, mauves, deep reds, and snowy whites, each petal often marked with unique patterns or blushes of colour that make every plant feel one-of-a-kind.

These hardy biennials are as resilient as they are beautiful, thriving in sunny spots and rewarding you with a long display of colour and scent. Pollinators love them too, making them a valuable addition to any bee-friendly garden. Whether you’re designing a soft, romantic border or simply want to inject some nostalgic fragrance into your outdoor space, Sweet William Wee Willie offers both style and substance.

At Potted Colour, we’ve chosen this variety for its old-fashioned beauty, compact growth, and joyful mix of hues.
