SWEET™ Purple Dianthus

Dianthus barbatus ‘Sweet Purple’ is a very fragrant bachelor button or sweet william type dianthus with deep purple flowers to 3’ in height on very sturdy stems. Unlike other Dianthus barbatus cultivars, this variety does not need to experience cool temperatures before it comes into flower. Great cut flower or short lived perennial in a flower bed. Attracts butterflies. Plant in full sun and provide moderate water. Avoid heavy mulching around base of plants that can cause damping off.
