Sweet William is a cheerful, easy-to-grow flowering plant prized for its richly colored and fragrant flower clusters that bloom in late spring to early summer. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil, and water regularly without letting the roots sit in standing water. Deadhead spent blooms to extend the flowering season and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
