Pink 'Sweetie Pie', Sweetie Pie Pink, Fruit Punch Series, PP27989 CPBRAF
Incredibly floriferous, Dianthus ‘Sweetie Pie’ (Pink) is a charming evergreen perennial with masses of sweetly scented, semi-double, pastel pink flowers adorned with a subtle darker pink eye. Blooming in early summer and early fall, the eye-catching blossoms, up to 1.5 in. (4 cm), dance above a tight, compact mound of grassy, silvery blue-green leaves. They are produced in such great quantities that they literally cover the foliage. Easy to grow, and heat and humidity tolerant, this garden pink is perfect for adding a splash of color to the garden. It is an excellent addition to the front of sunny borders, rock gardens, or decorative containers. Dianthus ‘Sweetie Pie’ belongs to the Fruit Punch series.
