Pink Early Bird Radiance, Early Bird Radiance Pink, Early Bird Series, Dianthus 'Wp09 Mar05'
Blooming early, Dianthus Radiance (Pink) is a dwarf evergreen perennial with wonderfully fragrant, large, double, crimson red flowers. Blooming from early spring through early fall (with regular deadheading), the blossoms are carried on non-flopping stems above a low mound of narrow, silver-blue leaves. Easy to grow, this compact Garden Pink is an excellent addition to window boxes, baskets or planters.
Radiance belongs to the Early Bird Series of Garden Pinks from Whetman Pinks, which are noted for their earliness of flowering, and compact habit.
