Description
Dianthus Sweet William is one of those lovely old-fashioned flowers.
An easy to grow traditional cottage garden plant with edible blooms that come in a wide array of colours from white to red.
The vivid blossoms rise on stiff, erect stems with rosettes of pale green stems.
Sweet Williams make a long-lasting, cut flower, and are an excellent choice for dried flower arrangements.
Best of all, they are intensely fragrant, with a delicious, rich perfume. Growing to around 60cm tall they belong in the middle ground of the flower border.
They are also a wonderful plant for containers, mass plantings and meadows.
Dianthus barbatus are short lived perennials that are often grown as a biennial.
They will grow in most soils and grow equally well in full sun or part shade.
Insects and diseases do not frequent the plants. Everybody can grow them to perfection.
