Luscious lipstick-pink double blossoms are decorated with raspberry accents, sometimes almost covering the whole blossom and sometimes providing more understated decoration. Back-dropped by dark bluish-green foliage and stems, the color of the blooms on this Sweet William is quite arresting and sure to attract plenty of attention. Dianthus thrive in sunny locations with well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established, they are perfect for balconies, rock gardens and gardens with sandy soil. Butterflies are attracted to these plants. Grows to 10″ tall. Full sun to partial shade. Photo courtesy of Ball Seed.
