Dianthus Scent First® Pink Fizz


Scent First Dianthus

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.181.270


(='Xavia') The Scent First® series of Border Pinks recently arrived from England and are known for their spicy fragrance, compact habit and long season of bloom. This tall selection forms a low cushion of grassy, grey-blue foliage topped with ruffled, fully double, bubble-gum pink flowers. An excellent addition to the sunny rock garden, alpine trough and for edging. Attractive to butterflies. Plants should be trimmed lightly after blooming to maintain their tight, compact mound. Evergreen. The flower petals of all types of Dianthus are edible. This series from Whetman Pinks, Ltd., UK, was the recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM). USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
