Dianthus g. ’Bath’s Pink’
{24 Pots - 3 1/2 in.}
(AKA Cheddar Pinks, Border Pinks)
Dianthus gratianopolitanus ’Bath’s Pink’ has evergreen, gray-green linear foliage. Showy, profuse, fragrant pink blooms with magenta rings cover the plant April-June.
Its spreading tendency makes it an outstanding groundcover, particularly on dry slopes. Many plants placed together creates a pool of deep blue foliage when not in bloom.
Tough, beautiful, and easy-to-grow. Recommended for borders, rock gardens, along walks or paths, and for edging. Grown close together, it is an excellent groundcover. With its grassy blue-gray foliage and profuse blooming time, ‘Bath’s Pink’ is one not to miss. Deadhead to promote continued bloom.
Dianthus needs a sunny site with well-drained soil, but will tolerate some shade in the afternoon. Heat and humidity resistant, cold tolerant and moderately tolerant of salt. Deer tend to avoid. Moderate growth rate. Mature size 4-6" high and 12-18" wide, spacing 6-12".
Named for Jane Bath of Stone Mountain, GA, who discovered it. A 1994 Herbaceous Perennial Georgia Gold Medal Winner.
