Mesmerizing and richly detailed, Dianthus ‘Raspberry Swirl’ looks almost hand-painted with palest pink blooms edged in deep maroon and marked by a dramatic blood-red eye. This fragrant dianthus brings old-fashioned charm and modern color to sunny borders, containers, rock gardens, cottage plantings, and pathway edges.

Also known as pinks, ‘Raspberry Swirl’ Dianthus forms a tidy mound of narrow foliage topped with beautifully patterned flowers that are perfect for admiring up close. The blooms are lovely for small bouquets and posies, and their spicy-sweet fragrance makes them especially welcome near patios, entryways, and garden paths. Pair this compact perennial with lavender, violas, salvia, yarrow, ornamental grasses, and silver foliage for a romantic, low-growing display.

Plant Dianthus ‘Raspberry Swirl’ in full sun with well-drained soil. Provide moderate water and trim spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and a neat habit. Easy, fragrant, and wonderfully decorative, this is a charming ground cover-style perennial for colorful small spaces. Explore more scented beauties in our Dianthus collection.
