Plant Dianthus that are super hardy and
reliable. We have grown many cultivars over many years and
have narrowed our offerings down to four. The ones we are
growing are strong garden performers, forming low, tight mats
of colorful, fragrant flowers during spring and summer in your
sunny garden. They are very attractive to butterflies and
hummingbirds and are extremely drought tolerant. Deer
seldom find them appealing. These flat mats of foliage
are quite evergreen and make a nice groundcover in a hot sunny
area. Care is simple. Shear off the dead flower
stalks down to the base and you will be left with an
attractive mat of foliage, which is often silvery in
appearance. These plants are show stoppers placed at the
edge of a garden, in rock gardens or in troughs.
