Dianthus barbatus- Holborn Glory. This name in Greek is Heavenly Flower. It is an heirloom variety of Sweet William with bicolor flowers of pure white and red raspberry, it is becoming rare and will be hard to find not too far down the road. It is a short-lived perennial that grows in rounded dense clusters. Not good for a ground cover plant because the stalks are tall and stiff. These flowers grow in clusters and reach 4-7 inches across with multiple blossoms of crazy brilliant color. These flowers are noted for their spicy scent. They have a diverse way to enjoy them also. You can use them in cottage gardens, natural gardens, borders, beds, cut flowers, AND they are edible and commonly used to decorate cakes.
