Dianthus 'Neon Star'
Neon Star Carnation
Bright, florescent pink flowers cover the evergreen, blue-grey foliage. Compact and mounding in habit, 'Neon Star' grows to 6-9" tall by 1-2' wide. The flower fragrance is a spicy clove scent. Flowering is most prolific in early summer, but plants will often rebloom in the fall. Great for rock gardens, dry creek beds, or shrub borders.
