Description

Fully double fuchsia purple flowers are florist quality, reaching 1½-2” wide. Glaucous blue-green foliage is semi-evergreen.

In the carnation family, Dianthus cultivars deliver gorgeous single, semi-double, and fully double flowers. Singles tend to deliver more flowers while doubles are significantly larger, sometimes more than twice the size. Singles also tend to grow quicker and can appear like a carpet in the landscape at maturity.

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.

Full sun to part sun | H: 8-10″ W: 12-14″ | zone: 4-9
