Dianthus Paint the Town Magenta #1

Paint The Town Magenta Dianthus is smothered in stunning fragrant hot pink frilly flowers at the ends of the stems from early summer to early fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive narrow leaves remain powder blue in color with hints of grayish green throughout the year.

It is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with a mounded form. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
