DIANTHUS GRATIANOPOLITANUS (Cheddar Pinks, Allwoodi)

$14.00 – $53.00

This variety of Dianthus with its bold pink flowers with a spicy clove-like scent was selected to be the county flower of Somerset in the UK. This makes sense as the flowers of this plant cover the plant from spring until fall and can be deadheaded to prolong flowering.
Dianthus are a stunning hardy, perennial, wide-spreading groundcover with blue/green foliage 8”-10” high. They do best in full sun with well-draining soil. Which makes them an excellent choice for any garden as a mass planting, ground cover, or in a rock garden.
If this variety isn’t the right color for you there are over 500 other options of Dianthus (often called Carnations or Alwoodii). Although Colorado Hardy Plants doesn’t carry all 500 choices, we do carry many other colors. Also note, this variety is almost identical to Alwood variety.
Fun fact: The term “pinking shears” (special scissors that create a zigzag edge that discourages fraying) is thought to named after these pink flowers.
