Pink 'Whatfield Magenta'
Dianthus ‘Whatfield Magenta’ (Pink) is a compact evergreen perennial boasting masses of single, slightly fragrant magenta flowers adorned with a rose throat. Blooming in summer, the vibrant blossoms rise on short 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, alpine trough or for edging.
