Dianthus ‘Red Beauty’


Border Pinks

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.181.410


A selection of the Border Pinks, a group of Dianthus that are a favourite for planting in rock gardens or using as a border edging. This compact variety forms a low mound of grassy blue-grey foliage, with a long display of fragrant single scarlet-red blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more buds to form. Clip back by half in early autumn to maintain a bushy habit. Plants require good drainage and are an excellent choice for hot dry sites or gravelly soils. Combines beautifully with other low alpine plants. Attractive to butterflies. Evergreen. A sport of D. ‘Fire Witch’, discovered in North Carolina by Douglas Chapman. USPP#20301: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
