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 ‘Rose de Mai’ (P-1833)
Each 10.75
The delectable clove-scented barrage of long-lasting 2 in. wide double blooms inspired American Dianthus aficionado, Mr. Rand Lee, to place ‘Rose De Mai’ at the top of his all-time favorite Gillyflower list. Endowed with an easy-to-blend clear-pink floral color, the lovely fringed display is staged well above narrow leafy stems and sturdy silver-laced, blue-green foliage. It appreciates an occasional trim and promises to soften any garden path or rock work, enduring drought plus difficult clay sites.
