How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
Dianthus is the botanical name of a great group of flowers that includes wild Sweet William, the pinks, and of course, the carnations. Some of the pinks have been in gardens since Elizabethan times, and of today the carnation is a mainstay of the florist trade. Dianthus species are not at all hard to grow, and once they're happy in your garden, they'll return every year with more and more color and fragrance.
Seeds? Yes, we have the meadow favorite, Wild Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) in our wildflower seed department. Its a favorite biennial that creates waves of magnificent colors (several colors and bicolors) in wildflower meadows. And its a snap to grow.

"The flowers sat for 6 days boxed in a truck & came wilted & dried. They have been watered regularly since arrival and some small flowers are developing and the leaves are green, but they don't look healthy but rather stunted in growth. Hopefully, they will make it & grow better next year."
"I chose the dweet williams as gifts toy friends and family that attended my sons memorial service his name was william. Everyone loved them Thank you they were delivered quick and all the plants were beautiful"
"This was planted in an outdoor planter that I thought would be oversized, but this plant has filled out over the planter and is just beautiful."
"Use it near the front of the border, so it can be seen in all it's glory. Should have ordered more!"
"I have had luck with Dianthus and that is still continuing. It's so sweet and the flowers are lovely. I just planted it this spring and it had already produced blooms."
