Main Characteristics of the Variety:

- Red Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus L.) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Dianthus (family Caryophyllaceae), native to Europe. The plant reaches 30–60 cm in height and is entirely glabrous. Its stems are erect and ribbed, with lanceolate leaves measuring 4–8 cm in length and approximately 1 cm in width. The flowers are numerous, forming dense clusters (capitula), and bloom from May to October. Each flower features long-clawed petals with ovate laminae, typically red in color. This species exhibits cold and drought tolerance but is sensitive to excessive heat and waterlogging. It thrives in sunny, dry, well-ventilated environments, though partial shade is recommended during summer. It prefers fertile, loose, well-drained, calcareous soil.

- In landscaping, Dianthus barbatus is highly versatile, suitable for flower beds, borders, container planting, rock gardens, and lawn edging. Mass planting can serve as effective ground cover. Additionally, its capacity to absorb sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and chlorine (Cl₂) makes it ideal for air purification in polluted areas. The flowers also hold significant value as cut flowers for ornamental use.
