Dianthus ‘Sweet William”

Dianthus ‘Sweet William”

(Dianthus barbatus)

This heirloom variety is very near & dear to my heart!  The ranch where my husband Paul grew up had a beautiful bed of these right outside the front door.  It was from that bed that we cut the sweet scented bouquet I carried when we got married!  We saved the seed  from my bouquet the following spring started a few plants of our own.  We’ve continued to save the seed year after year to produce these plants.  Sweet William is really a biennial, but let a few seed heads drop & you’ll always have them.  Colors include white, pink, dark red, and purple. Excellent cut flower. Grows 12″ tall  and loves the sun or a bit of shade.
