Dianthus plumarius ‘Pinkerton’

Dianthus plumarius ‘Pinkerton’

Wow! This is what I call a Dianthus! And what a difference from those wimpy ones you find at the big box stores & in “garden cen­ters” these days! Hundreds of deliciously fragrant double pink blooms smother the dense blue-green foliage for months & you can keep them coming till Fall by removing spent blooms. Totally bloom-azing! Long lived, do side-dress with compost in early Spring & Summer for amazing performance! Cut back to 1” in Winter. To 30” wide & 15” tall, the stems are just the right size for cutting and you’ll never have to worry about stealing too many for your bouquets!
