About This Product

Dianthus provides a neat, mounded habit with blue-green, linear leaves that remain attractive for much of the year. The delicate, fringed flowers carry a distinct clove-like fragrance that adds sensory appeal to walkways and rock gardens. They are excellent for edging or filling small gaps in a perennial landscape.
