Plant Features

Dianthus Classic Coral: Finally, the missing color in the Fruit Punch® series has arrived, and it’s ready to bring a whole lot of vibrant coral-pink to your garden. This long-awaited beauty bursts onto the scene in early summer, showing off its semi to fully double blooms over a neat, compact mound of blue-green foliage. It's the kind of plant that commands attention without even trying.

As part of the Fruit Punch® series, Classic Coral shares the same winning traits: fragrant blooms, impressive heat and humidity tolerance, and a knack for reblooming after a quick summer shearing. It’s perfect for edging the front of your sunny borders or filling out combination containers with a splash of color that’s both soft and striking. Oh, and did we mention it attracts butterflies and is bee-friendly? You’ll be the talk of the pollinator crowd.

Grown without harmful pesticides, it's a smart and safe choice for your garden and the environment. Guaranteed to arrive alive and ready to bloom its heart out!
