What is a biennial?



Sweet William
Biennials take 2 growing seasons to produce a flower.  There are many flowers categorized as biennials. An old time favorite is Sweet William.  A mini bouquet on one stem and a very fragrant spring bloomer.  They easily self-sow in the garden so allow some babies to spring up in late summer.  This "little growing season" is often enough to allow them to bloom next spring. Something to consider planting next year.

Happy Gardening!
