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.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
