💐 Sweet William – Dianthus barbatus

Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) is a beloved classic in the cut-flower and cottage-garden world, admired for its vibrant clusters of blooms and delightful, clove-like fragrance. Flowering in a stunning array of colors—pinks, reds, whites, and bicolours—Sweet William adds texture, colour, and charm to any garden bed or bouquet.

This hardy biennial (often grown as an annual) produces strong stems topped with dense flower heads that last beautifully in the vase. Sweet William thrives in cool weather and is an excellent performer in both field and garden settings. Its compact growth habit and continuous blooming make it a favorite among flower farmers and home gardeners alike.
