Dianthus Firewitch

Add fragrant magenta flowers and blue-green evergreen texture to sunny borders and rock gardens. Firewitch Dianthus forms a low mat of narrow foliage topped by bright pink blooms in spring, often with lighter rebloom later in the season. Its compact habit makes it ideal for edging, containers, and the front of perennial beds.
