Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This gorgeous Dianthus features extravagantly ruffled brilliant-crimson blooms held up on sturdy, upright 9" stems. The masses of flowers are early, long-flowering and deliciously fragrant contrasting beautifully with the compact, grassy, grey-green, evergreen foliage. These look great as a ground cover or in containers. They will repeat bloom all summer if dead headed and fed regularly. S/M-D PP21824
