There are quite a few choices for dainthus varieties.  See why I planted two Carnation Dianthus:
Features:
1) Carnation Dianthus is supposed to bloom from spring through fall. I just planted this variety so I will have to let you know.
2) My choice was pink of course!
3) This flower is a perennial in zones 4 through 9.
4) Carnation Dianthus tend to grow less than 12 inches high and about 12 inches wide.
5) This variety likes well drained soil.
6) Carnation Dianthus plants are sun lovers.
The last bloom we reviewed was the Wild Rose Coral Bells.
