Growing Zones
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!
