STAR™ PEPPERMINT STAR Pinks

Star™ Single Peppermint Star (‘Noreen’) is a compact Dianthus with single lavender-pink flowers, maroon centers, and glaucous blue-green leaves. The dense mound repeats its spring-to-fall bloom, and sturdy stems keep the flowers visible above the foliage. ## Form and flowering The breeder’s variety sheet identifies this selection as Dianthus hybrida ‘Noreen’, PP20369, and describes a compact 6-inch mound. A separate grower table gives a 6–8-inch garden height and a 14-inch garden width, while another plant listing reports a narrower spread; allow room for a low cushion to broaden over time. The pink flowers suit a sunny border edge or a container near a path. ## Site and soil Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. The variety information sheet lists USDA zone 5 hardiness and identifies repeat flowering, with spring through fall bloom reported. Blue-green glaucous foliage and the dense habit distinguish it from similar Star™ single selections. ## Maintenance Deadhead and feed regularly to encourage repeat flowering, and remove spent stems to keep the mound tidy. [PlantHaven’s variety sheet](https://whetmanpinksusa.com/media/pdfs/Dianthus-Peppermint-Star.pdf) gives the exact ‘Noreen’ identity and cultivar traits; [Green Leaf Plants’ Star series guide](https://wt.ballhort.com/DisplayProductInformation/105761/Dianthus_StarSeries.pdf) provides garden-size, zone, and flowering details.
