I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, with a mom who had the greenest of thumbs! She had these flowers that smelled like carnations, I loved them so much, they were my favorites! Fast forward many moons....
I met this man on the internet 7 years ago. He swept me off my hippie feet and made me a southern belle. Now, here I am in zone 7 of South Carolina with the worst news ever! I can marry a sweet William, but I can't grow one? Is this true?
Mom passed away in 03. Who can I turn to in my time of need?
QuEsTiOn? Can one grow Sweet Williams in the sub tropical south on the Carolinas?

PS Like my buttlefly shaped lilac?
