You will love the vivid color and sweet scent of Dianthus × 'Fruit Punch(R) Funky Fuchsia', a compact perennial that makes a neat mound of blue-green, threadlike foliage topped with fully double, fuchsia-purple flowers. The blooms resemble miniature florist carnations, and their fragrance makes this plant a natural choice near paths, patios, and seating areas.

Plant in full sun for the best flowering, though it also performs well in light shade (especially where summers are warm). Give it loose, well-drained soil; avoid soggy spots, particularly in winter. This dianthus is a great fit for rock gardens, edging, and the front of borders, and it also shines in containers where you can enjoy the scent up close.

At maturity it stays low and tidy, typically 8-10 inches tall and about 14-16 inches wide, so it tucks neatly between other perennials without taking over. Deadhead after the main flush to encourage additional flowering later in the season. Water regularly during establishment, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings. In early spring, shear lightly to refresh the foliage and keep the mound dense. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-9.
