    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Discovered from a chance seedling, we are thrilled to introduce another totally bloom-azing Dianthus this year! Hundreds – if not zillions – of beautiful, deliciously fragrant double mid-pink blooms almost smother the dense blue-green weed suppressing foliar mat to 30” across. To 15” tall, the stems are just the right size for cutting and you’ll never have to worry about stealing too many for your bouquets! Besides, dead-heading keeps them in bloom for months. Long lived.
