Vivid™ Bright Light Pinks

Vivid™ Bright Light ('Uribest52') forms a compact mound of blue-green, grassy foliage with abundant fragrant pink flowers. The cultivar patent identifies the denomination as 'Uribest52' and the correct U.S. plant patent as PP 28,239; the breeder network describes spring-to-fall rebloom and an 8-by-10-inch garden plant.

It can also form a short ground cover when planted in groups. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, and the long display can continue from spring into fall when spent stems are removed. [Gardenia](https://www.gardenia.net/plant/dianthus-vivid-bright-light) · [Concept Plants](https://conceptplants.com/varieties/dianthus-vivid-bright-light-uribest52) ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and sharply drained soil; the cultivar is listed for neutral to alkaline soil. The patent describes the plant as a perennial, and commercial sources give USDA Zones 5–9. A patent measurement taken from a nine-month-old plant in a 17-cm container was shorter than typical garden listings, so the catalog size retains the supported 8-inch height and 10-inch spread.
