Sweet Williams (Dianthus barbatus) are beloved for their dense clusters of colorful, slightly fragrant flowers that bloom in cooler seasons and add cheerful color to gardens. These plants form upright clumps of narrow green foliage and flower on sturdy stems, making them ideal for garden beds, borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil and full sun to partial shade. Many mixes, like this one, are suited to winter and cool weather planting, providing vibrant blooms when many other plants are dormant.
