Pink 'Gran's Favourite'
Prized for its long blooming seasons, Dianthus ‘Gran’s Favourite’ (Pink) is a striking evergreen perennial boasting ravishing semi-double flowers with white petals, heavily laced with deep purple-red. Blooming from early summer to early fall (with regular deadheading), the elegantly ruffled blossoms rise on short, stout stems above a low cushion of grassy, blue-green leaves. The foliage remains evergreen in all but the coldest winters. 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.
