It has a really cheerful bright color splashed with tie-dye white. Can you help me identify it?
Thank you in advance!Thank you, readers, several of you let me know that this beauty is Sweet William!! I really appreciate your taking the time to help me with the ID.
From Wikipedia: Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William), a species of Dianthus native to the mountains of southern Europe from the Pyrenees east to the Carpathians and the Balkans, with a variety disjunct in northeastern China, Korea, and southeasternmost Russia.
Thank you so much folks, I am awestruck at how great it is to put a question out there and get such great answers! I cut some of these flowers and arranged them with some yarrow and salal for a great bouquet that shows no signs of fading yet. So I know Sweet William makes a great cut flower as well as a sweet hit of color out in the garden. I'll be dividing and distributing this big clump so I can enjoy it even more next year.

Maybe Sweet William?
Looks like something from the Dianthus family...maybe a variety of Sweet William.
It is pretty, I hope the deer leave it alone. It looks like a dianthus of some sort.
Also it will spread on it's own.
Looks like dianthus. It's a perennial. I just bought some for my garden! Enjoy!
