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 ‘Queen of Sheba’ (P-2137)
Each 10.75
‘Queen of Sheba’s intricately patterned beauty has reigned in gardens since the early 1600s. Cresting a courtly frosted green clump, the single blooms present fringed rosy-red petals, each with a central pearlescent splash and a heady perfume. Most likely parented by Dianthus plumarius, this vintage Dianthus promises plush accents for a container display or a stone wall.
