ADDITIONAL CARE

Retention of moisture is essential for Sweet William | Dianthus Barbatus. For any plant, layering the soil with a thin layer of mulch facilitates moisture to retain.

However, excess water is also harmful to these plants as they are light feeders. If you overwater the Sweet William plant, crown rot may occur which goes the same for other perennials. Once this disease affects your plants, there exists a very low chance of survival. The petals and the affected side of the plant will appear darker. Also, its foliage will turn yellow and death comes quickly after. These plants are generally not susceptible to diseases, but once in a while pests or aphids can definitely infect them.
