Fragrant red flowers that rebloom spring through fall, the EverBloom™ Red Delicious Dianthus (Dianthus x 'KLEDG11123') is a compact, long-blooming perennial known for its rich, ruby-red, semi-double flowers and silvery-blue evergreen foliage. This sun-loving hybrid bursts into color from late spring through fall, filling gardens with spicy fragrance and pollinator appeal. Its tidy, low-mounding shape and nonstop blooms make it ideal for borders, containers, Cottage Gardens, and rock gardens.

Each plant forms a rounded mound of narrow, blue-gray leaves that stay attractive year-round in milder regions. The upright stems carry clusters of frilly red blooms with a clove-like scent. Compact and neat at just under 1 foot tall and slightly wider, this reblooming beauty provides months of color. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering and helps keep the plant tidy!

Originally descended from Carnations, Garden Pinks prefers full sun, good air circulation, and well-drained soils. It's ideal for dry climates, urban beds, and sunny patios. This herbaceous perennial is both low-maintenance and long-blooming. Give it sun, lean soil, and keep it tidy with a little snip here and there.
