Dianthus like our cool moist soil, and this Dianthus superba is no exception. I first purchased seed about three years ago, and now I collect my own seed each fall. The mix includes dark lavender, white, lt. pink, and a deep pink. When they are in bloom, they are about 14-18 inches tall.

They display best when in groupings, or when displayed with other perennials with the same bloom time, since the individual blooms look "ragged" when viewed alone.
