Clusterhead Pink
Dianthus
Garden Pinks
The subtleties of the Dianthus weâve selected will take you back to Roman times, when this plant was regarded as divine, âJoveâs Flower.âThroughout 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 carthusianorum (P-1102)
Each 11.00
Hailing from the alpine meadows of central and southeast Europe, this tall growing Dianthus begets small, deep magenta blooms. Narrow, grassy green foliage comprise the long lasting rosettes, which send up wiry, and nearly leafless, bluish stems. Crowning the lengthy stalks, little tufts of reddish brown calyxes cradle six or more vividly tinted flowers enhanced by fringed petals.
Happiest in dry sunny sites and alkaline soils, this sprightly perennial brings cheery color to a naturalized planting of grasses.
Blooms JulyâSeptember.
Size: 2' 0" â 2-1/2' high x 10" â 12" wide.
Hardy to zone 5.
