The sweet William is a traditional cottage garden perennial, coming in a range of flower colours and forms. It's technically a short-lived perennial, but is usually grown as a biennial, with seeds sown in summer for flowering plants the following year.
Dianthus 'Sweet' makes a fantastic cut flower, its strong stems and large flower heads lasting for several weeks in water.
'Sweet' is an extremely fragrant sweet William cultivar. Clusters of sweetly scented flowers in shades of red, white and purple are borne on sturdy stems from June to September. For best results deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
