Dianthus 'Coconut Punch' (Pink)
Pink 'Coconut Punch', Coconut Punch Pink, Fruit Punch Series
Very compact and free flowering, Dianthus 'Coconut Punch' (Pink) is an eye-catching evergreen perennial with masses of fragrant, fully double, deep red flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with white markings in the center of each petal. As the flowers mature, the white markings expand and the red color lightens, leaving a wine colored ring around each petal. Blooming in early summer and early fall (with regular deadheading), the large blossoms rise on non-flopping stems above a low mound of grassy, silver-blue leaves. Easy to grow, and perfect for adding a splash of color in the garden, this Garden Pink is an excellent addition to the sunny border, rock garden or containers. Splendid as cut flowers too!
- Grows up to 12 in. tall and wide (30 cm).
- Prefers full sun and enjoys neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils. Excellent choice for hot dry sites or gravelly soils.
- Extremely versatile, this Dianthus is ideal for beds and borders, garden edging, rock gardens, cottage gardens or containers.
- Attracts bees and butterflies, but is ignored by deer.
- Deadhead to prolong flowering. A quick shearing after flowering will encourage them to rebloom in early fall.
- Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
