Sweet Sweet William

My Sweet William shows off bright pink/white picotee flowers non-stop! I thought this plant just perished shortly after flowering but new shoots appeared vigorously owing to last month's heavy downpour. So I think in the tropics, this plant loves the rainy season.

Native to southern Europe and other parts of Asia, this dwarf variety of Dianthus Barbatus likes partial shade in Cebu climate where daily temperature ranges from 23 *C to 31 *C.






My crib is on the third floor facing east so my plants get plenty of sunlight in the morning and plenty of shade in the afternoon.
