There’s no flower sweeter than our featured flower of the month Sweet William. Dianthus barbatus or Sweet William is native to several regions throughout Asia and Southern Europe. This full sun perennial is from the plant family Caryophyllaceae. I planted Sweet William 8 years ago and to my delight it still thrives in two of my flower beds. It is not only resilient but reliable. Did I mention that it’s drought tolerant? Sweet William comes in a multitude of colors and varieties. The blooms are capable of not only withstanding the heat of the day but thrive in difficult soil conditions. Plant this gem in well draining soil on the sunny side of your garden and enjoy! Cheers
