Dianthus gratianopolitanus has evergreen, gray-green linear foliage. Showy, profuse, often fragrant blooms cover the plant for an extended period. Its spreading tendency makes it an outstanding groundcover, particularly on dry slopes. Many plants placed together creates a pool of deep blue groundcovering foliage when not in bloom.
Tough, beautiful, and easy-to-grow. Recommended for borders, rock gardens, along walks or paths, and for edging. Heat, humidity, cold and drought tolerant, moderately tolerant of salt, and deer tend to avoid.
