Dianthus – Fruit Punch Black Cherry Frost

This colorful perennial produces loads of semi-double, velvety red flowers with near white edge atop a low mound of silvery blue foliage. Use it to edge sunny borders and pathways.

Shear off old flowering stems and approximately 1/3 of the foliage after blooming. Foliage will quickly recover and look nice, even into winter. Prefers loose and sandy alkaline soils. Can be divided in spring every 2-3 years.
