Pink 'Fizzy', Fizzy Pink, Early Bird Series, Dianthus 'Wp08 Ver03'
One of the earliest and longest flowering, Dianthus ‘Fizzy’ (Pink) is a charming evergreen perennial with masses of wonderfully scented, double, lavender flowers adorned with serrated edges and deep purple centers. Blooming in early to mid-spring through late summer (with regular deadheading), the frilly blossoms rise on short, stout stems above a low cushion of grassy, blue-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.
‘Fizzy’ belongs to the Early Bird Series of Garden Pinks from Whetman Pinks, which are noted for their exceptionally early flowering season (February end or beginning of March, depending on locations).
