Easy to grow and longer blooming, the Neon Star Dianthus forms a dense low mound of attractive, glaucous, ice-blue evergreen foliage that is smothered in heavenly fragrant, clove-scented flowers with incredibly brilliant magenta-pink petals beautifully serrated around the edges. The flower color is so intense it’s difficult to capture it with a camera photo! If the flowers are deadheaded the plant will rebloom and often reblooms again in the fall. Excellent for sunny patio gardens and around other outdoor living spaces where the fragrance and cute flowers can be enjoyed from up close.

Growing in a dense mound about 4 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, the Neon Star Dianthus is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or in mass plantings in sunny landscape borders and on slopes. Also very popular for edging garden beds and paths, walkways and patios. Its smaller size makes it an excellent candidate as a solo or mixed with other plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly garden, sunny perennial gardens, pink theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
