Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William).

  Sweet William is a short-lived herbaceous perennial or biennial flowering plant that is ideal for use in home gardens, flower beds, or containers. The flowers come in a variety of vibrant colors and are attractive to pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

 Planting Sweet William in late spring will usually produce flowers the following year, although some new varieties will bloom the first year if you start the seeds early enough.

 Research shows that Sweet William is mildly toxic to pets and people.

 If you place Sweet William in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, you should have a bountiful collection of Sweet William. They self-seed readily each year in optimal growing conditions, so you'll have a fresh batch of beautiful blooms to enjoy each summer. If you're growing them as bedding, space Williams sweetgum plants about 8 inches apart to encourage the dense foliage that emerges during the first year.
