Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This elegant Dianthus comes to us from a breeding program in Devon, England. This cultivar is well loved for its compact growth, spicy clove-scented blooms, abundant flowering and long bloom season. Narrow, blue-green, evergreen leaves form a dense 5-7" mound. Flowers are pink-red with a deeper cherry-red eye and bloom from late spring to early summer on stems rising slightly above the foliage mound. Perfect for container or mass planting. S/M-D PP14895
