DIANTHUS
Also known as pinks, carnations, and Sweet William, dianthus bring frilly edged petals to beds, borders, and containers. Dianthus flowers feature many shapes and markings, and some even have a spicy aroma.
Sweet William prefers compost-amended, well-draining sites. It can tolerate full sun, but most gardeners will plant it in partial shade in order to prolong the bloom and keep the plant looking better. Deadhead regularly.
