About This Item
Dianthus Sweetness flowers for months on compact, mat-forming, evergreen, plants. From its wide range of colors, everything from nearly white to deep carmine, with all hues of pink in between, to its super-abundant bloom season, it lives up to its name in garden glory
The fringed, dark-eyed blooms of this Dianthus ground cover are about 1 inch wide, set atop foliage that reaches just 6 inches high. Radiantly bright, these flowers would be eye-catching even if they didn't lure you in by the nose first, their sweet floral scent absolutely irresistible. Bees and butterflies find them irresistible. It makes a good cut flower as well.
Dianthus Sweetness spreads about a foot wide in the sunny garden making it a popular fast growing ground cover plant. Its grass-like gray-green foliage forms a dense, weed-choking mat that serves as an effective ground cover in large plantings. It needs full sunshine and good soil drainage, but other than that is quite unfussy about conditions.
It makes a good erosion-prevention plant on slopes and banks, and is a lovely edging, front-of-the-border standout, and a good container choice as well.
Approximately 200 seeds covers 5 square feet or 2 - 3 seeds per plant. Perennial in USDA zones 4 - 8.
