Dianthus
Garden Pinks
The subtleties of the Dianthus we’ve selected will take you back to Roman times, when this plant was regarded as divine, “Jove’s Flower.”Throughout history, clove-scented Dianthus have been cultivated for their fragrance and essential oils. Easy to grow and steadfast in well-drained soil, Dianthus, with neat mounds of linear blue, green or gray-green foliage, are an ageless addition to any garden, especially suited to seasoned habitats such as the rockery, walls or stone pathways.
Dianthus ‘Sweetheart Abbey’ (P-2127)
Each 10.75
Paying homage to Scotland’s bygone years, this sweet smelling Dianthus is distinguished by lavish layers of crimson-colored petals with showy saw-toothed lilac margins. The well-endowed double flowers bejewel an appealing low mound of slender bluish green foliage that can be featured near the front of a border with companions such as Alchemilla alpina and Geranium ‘Mavis Simpson’.
