Dianthus barbatus 'Heart Attack' (Perennial Sweet William)

A sought after Sweet William producing multitudes of brilliant black red carnation type flowers beginning in late spring to early summer and continue for most of the summer. The dark crimson flowers are held above glossy, dark green, lance-shaped leaves. The foliage appears in the spring in the form of rosettes in shades of red. The foliage colors changes in the fall to a beautiful burgundy. I have found that some protection from the hottest time of the afternoon improved its performance. 66 fl oz/1.951 L pot
