Pink 'Key Lime Pie', Maiden Pink 'Key Lime Pie', American Pie Series, Dianthus 'Wp15 Pie45’'
Bred for beautifully scented flowers and excellent garden performance, Dianthus ‘Key Lime Pie’ (Pink) is an elegant evergreen perennial with masses of delightfully scented, pure white flowers adorned with unique apple green centers. Blooming in late spring with a repeat in summer and fall (with regular deadheading), the large single blossoms rise on short, sturdy 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.
‘Key Lime Pie’ belongs to the award-winning American Pie Series of Garden Pinks from Whetman Pinks, which are noted for their spicy fragrance, compact habit and long bloom season.
