Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Tiny Rubies'
- SKU:
- PLANT209.1DiTR
A fairy garden gem with little double rose-pink flowers over a cushion of silver-green foliage. Fragrant flowers have fringed petals and resemble miniature pink carnations. Blooms wave in the wind on long graceful stems in late spring/early summer. A great addition to miniature gardens and landscapes not only for the flowers, but also the foliage color and texture. Forms a large spikey cushion or carpet of long, smooth silver-green leaves in miniature landscapes. To keep a tighter cushion, remove old flower stems and cut back foliage by 1/3 after flowering finishes - may also provide for a second flush of flowers later in the season. Said to be deer resistant. An absolute jewel for fairy gardens. Zones 3 to 8/9
