Dianthus gratianopolitanus Nova Firewitch Tiny Rubies

Heavenly scented and charmingly petit, these Clove Pinks add old world charm to gardens and containers. Our three varieties offer a nice selection of color and heights.

Dianthus "Nova"
 

Dianthus Nova (pictured on the right) is our largest dianthus sprawling its silvery gray stems and deep dark pink flowers to about a foot. Plant it at the edge of a hanging basket and it will flow over the edge providing color and rich scent.

Dianthus Firewitch (pictured on the left) was the 2006 perennial of the year. More compact than Nova it reaches only about 6 inches and has incredible pink flower that goes well with blues. Indeed the foliage is a bluish-silver which is very eye-catching in the garden.

Dianthus Tiny Rubies (not pictured) is so small Barbie would be right at home with it in her garden. It also makes a nice groundcover for us giants. The teeny pink flowers cover the light green tufts which spread to about eight inches or more as time goes by. It is only about two or three inches tall, depending on how much sun it gets. The more sun the shorter it stays.
