Pink 'Fire and Ice', Fire and Ice Pink
Very compact and free flowering, Dianthus ‘Fire and Ice’ (Pink) is a charming evergreen perennial with masses of delightfully scented, raspberry flowers, up to 1.5 in. across (4 cm), adorned with tiny light pink spots and white picotee edges. Blooming in early summer and early fall, the cheerful blossoms rise on short, stout stems above a low cushion of grassy, gray-green 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 rock garden, fabulous in containers and a luminous edger at the front of the border. Drought and salt tolerant.
