EverBloom™ Watermelon Ice Dianthus (Dianthus x 'G18139') are silvery green perennial plants in the Carnation family that cover themselves in a mound of bright light and dark pink blooms! Each toothy petal looks fringed and frosted nearly white on the edges, and are wide open to attract the maximum amount of pollinators! Delightfully scented they tickle the nose!
The soft sagey-blue to silvery-green mounds and small slender foliage are almost continuously slathered in watermelon pink flowers from late spring until fall with some mindful deadheading to encourage new flushes of flowers. Watch for bees, butterflies, and Hummingbirds to stop by!
EverBloom™ Dianthus have near continuous blooms! Compact, hardy perennials in USDA growing zones 4- 9, and in mild winters can be evergreen to semi-evergreen! Low-growing accents, Dianthus only reach 6-8 inches when in bloom and spread politely to an 18-24 inch mound.
Planting and Application:
Watermelon Ice Dianthus are classic cottage and perennial garden accents and edging! En masse, they act as low-growing groundcover and flowering living mulch anywhere in the sun garden! Garden Pinks delight you with pollinators and tiny cut flower stems for nosegays and bud vases!
Xeric enough to tolerate Rock gardens and as sunny edging along paths and walkways, use these smaller space-saving blooms in your crevice gardens, atop retaining walls, or as facer plants at the front of the garden border. They're also delightful in mixed or massed containers on your porch, patio, and around a sunny deck!
- Toothy Petals in Near White, Light & Dark Pink!
- Spicy Carnation Family Scent
- Bluish-Silvery Green Foliage
- Low-Growing Mounded Form
- Rock & Crevice Gardens, Containers, Edging & Groundcover
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dianthus, aka Garden Pinks, need full sun and sharply drained soils to do their best. Provide enough water to establish, and then only supplemental moisture in extreme conditions. A 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch helps in the hottest climates and coldest winters by adding insulation. Deadhead after blooms fade, and prune mounds in late winter or early spring to clean the mounds of dead foliage.
- Full Sun
- Very Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate to Low Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowering & Prune Early Spring
- Deer Resistant
Delightful Garden Pinks, the EverBloom™ Watermelon Ice Dianthus will be you and your pollinator's new best friend! Order scented space-saving perennials today from NatureHills.com!
