'Flora Pearl Salmon Dianthus' sweet William (Dianthus barbatus 'Flora Pearl Salmon Dianthus') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide.
Pairs well with Purple cranesbill, Lamb’s ear, and Alina rose.
