Dianthus, commonly known as Carnation, is a flowering plant valued for its fringed petals and compact growth. Dianthus spp. is widely grown in garden beds, borders, and containers for its consistent blooms and classic appearance.

This plant forms a low, mounding habit and produces flowers throughout the growing season. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings.

Each plant is supplied as a well-rooted starter plug in a container measuring approximately 5/8" x 5/8" x 1 3/4". (Note: Dianthus Sweet Coral is supplied in a 1/2" nursery pot.) Plant size and fullness may vary naturally, and listing photos may not represent the exact plant received.
