Dianthus Plant

Dianthus is a versatile genus of flowering plants known for their distinctive fringed petals and spicy, clove-like fragrance. These plants exhibit a mounding or upright growth habit, featuring narrow, grass-like foliage that ranges from deep green to a striking silvery blue-green. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and containers, they thrive in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Most varieties prefer full sun but can tolerate light shade in hotter climates.
