Deep maroon, pink and white swirls! The Dianthus Raspberry Swirl (Dianthus 'Raspberry Swirl') blooms from late spring until summer atop a dense mat of grayish-green evergreen foliage for a long-lasting and tough flowering plant!

Raspberry Swirl Dianthus attracts swarms of early emerging bees and butterflies, and perhaps an occasional hummingbird too, as they seek out the nectar from these spicy fragrant blossoms! For the rest of the year, you’ll enjoy the evergreen foliage that forms compact mounds

Raspberry Swirl is great for floral design and bouquets, the long stems and strongly fragranced flowers have a multicolored toothy single layer of petals and the classic curled stamen in the centers of each. Plus after a long display, you’ll enjoy a rebloom if you are consistent about deadheading!

Planting and Application:

These low-growing mats choke out weeds and provide year-round groundcover throughout your garden beds. Also providing fantastic edging and spillers over border edges and container sides! These creeping mounds ease the transition between manicured lawn and garden with a scented, colorful display that’s unmatched.

Dianthus Raspberry Swirl is fantastic in rock gardens where they ramble and tumble over stones and around other plants without disturbing them. They’re also great at softening hardscapes and erosion control, so plant atop a retaining wall or on a hard-to-mow slope or dangerous hillside, transforming it into a year-round delightful focal point!

Toothy Pink, White & Dark Maroon Petals
Gray-Green Grassy Foliage
Compact Evergreen Mats
Edging, Spillers, Erosion Control & Specimen
Garden Beds, Borders & Containers

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Dianthus loves the sun and prefers low-moisture once established, so provide an area that is very well-drained. Pruning is best done in early spring before you see new growth to remove dead branches and clean up the mound to keep it neat and tidy.
