Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another dazzling Dianthus whose popularity has endured since the 17th-century, 'Bridal Veil' stays true to her name with ornate, highly fringed double white flowers. Speckled, deep carmine-colored centers are as plush as velour and ignite the crisp snowy blooms that offer up such a sweet and strong perfume, while adorning low, narrow-leafed gray-green tumps.
