Dianthus (Pinks)

Dianthus (DYE-an-this), commonly known as Pinks or Carnations, is a charming perennial plant treasured for its fragrant, frilled flowers and compact growth habit. Though originally only available in pink (hence the nickname), newer cultivars are emerging. Your choice of colors includes a delightful range, including hues of pink (of course!), red, white, orange, and purple. Carnation plants add a splash of vibrant color and lacy texture to gardens, borders, and containers. Its sweetly scented blossoms are a favorite for cutting gardens (they last a long time in a vase!) and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any garden. Dianthus thrives in full sun and well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil, while its drought tolerance makes it an ideal choice for low-maintenance gardens. These hardy perennial plants are also deer-resistant and bloom prolifically with minimal care, offering long-lasting beauty throughout the growing season.
