Sweet William

One of the most reliable and attractive flowers in the garden is the Sweet William, or dianthus.  It comes in alll colors and returns faithfully each year.  Its seeds wander through the garden and produce red, pink, rose, white, and mixed colors all around.  You need to be aware of its elongated leaves so you won't mistake it for a weed in the spring and pull it up.  It has made its way from garden to garden for years.
