Each cluster rocks its multi-toned shades all at once. Stems are topped with a perfectly arranged nosegay of blossoms. Reliably overwinters in Zone 5+.

Dianthus General Information
Dianthus are garden classics, appearing in many shapes and colors, most with blue/green or blue frosted quill-like foliage. Long blooming, perfect for small bouquets-most are fragrant. A cottage garden is not complete without several Dianthus. All are heat tolerant and low maintenance beauties. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.
