Dianthus ‘Rubin’


Border Pinks

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.180.560


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 variety forms a low clump of grassy silver-blue foliage, with an early summer display of single deep magenta-red blooms. Shear plants back lightly after blooming to maintain a tight, compact 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.
