Description
Double scented pink flowers.
Compact mound of silver foliage with deep rich double pink flowers. This is a great dianthus for most of the garden from borders to containers and alpine rock gardens alike. Its foliage is very neat and so is the habit of the plant with late spring brining a full flush of flowers turning the mound pink and emanating a great perfume.
