Dianthus barbatus ‘Midget’

Sweet William is an old-fashioned cottage garden plant that usually grows as a self seeding biennial. This dwarf strain produces showy clusters of fragrant flowers in shades of pink, rose, salmon, red and white, often with an attractive contrasting eye. 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. Terrific for edging along the front of a sunny border.
