Pink 'Moulin Rouge'
Prized for its exquisite flowers, Dianthus ‘Moulin Rouge’ (Pink) is an evergreen perennial boasting double, light pink flowers laced and blotched with crimson. Blooming from late spring to late summer (with regular deadheading), the elegantly ruffled blossoms rise on short, stout stems above a low cushion of grassy, gray-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.
