The reason the ''Dianthus barbatus'' plant is called Sweet William has been forgotten, but the poetry of the name fits the pleasant aroma and bright range of possible colors. Full-grown plants reach 12-inches (30 cm) or more in height, depending on variety. Sweet William is easy to grow and maintain, but may need to be replanted after one or two years, since they rarely survive longer. Fortunately, you can harvest the seeds from your first plant or allow it to reseed by itself, spreading years of enjoyment from a single initial plant. | The reason the ''Dianthus barbatus'' plant is called Sweet William has been forgotten, but the poetry of the name fits the pleasant aroma and bright range of possible colors.
