Dianthus x barbatus Rockin'™ Red (Sweet William)
A tough and reliable longer bloomer, this is a great choice for season-long brilliant red color in the sunny border. Trim after a flush of blooms and be rewarded with the fragrant flowers into fall. The upright foliage grows 18-24" and prefers well-drained soil. Combine with Campanula ‘Blue Waterfall’, Salvia ‘Snow Hill’ and Geranium ‘Rozanne’ or use in a mass planting. Plant 12" apart.
