Dianthus gratianopolitanus Tiny Rubies 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 sunnier the site the shorter it stays.
