Dianthus barbatus Barbarini™ F1 Mix
Dwarf Sweet William |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.185.040
Sweet William is an old-fashioned cottage garden plant that usually grows as a self seeding biennial. This dwarf hybrid strain produces showy clusters of fragrant flowers in shades of lavender, purple, rose and red, often with an attractive contrasting eye. Terrific in containers or for edging borders. This strain flowers well the first year and hopefully returns for a second. Remove fading flowers to encourage more buds to form. Pruning plants back hard after blooming will encourage them to survive for another year. Self-sown seedlings may be moved in fall or early spring.
