Sweet William, I believe.

Brenda

Bi-annual sweet william which means it gives lots of leaves in the first year and flower the second year.

Thank you for the help. At least I'll have a better idea of where to put it now. It was the reddish leaves that confused me.

My sweet william 'Sooty' has reddish leaves like yours. Maybe yours will have dark flowers, too??

What is a Sweet William?
