A clump forming, evergreen perennial with highly decorative, glaucous, blue-green, stiff strappy foliage. Frequently throughout the year sprays of double pink carnation flowers with a pale red eye ring are produced. Cut back hard when it becomes leggy. Dianthus tolerate, if not enjoy, lots of exposure. Don't crowd and provide good drainage.
