Dianthus barbatus ‘Sooty’
Sweet William |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.185.310
Sweet William is an old-fashioned cottage garden plant that usually grows as a self seeding biennial. This midsized strain produces a mound of bronze-purple leaves, bearing showy clusters of unique chocolate-red to black flowers for several weeks. Excellent as a cut flower. 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.
