A great dianthus, also sold as 'Devon Yolande.' (That's the name under which I bought mine, from Lowe's.) Not much of a fan of pink flowers, but I like these for some reason. Takes total drought or heavy rains with ease here in zone 9A.

This is a charming little plant. I have it in my rose garden and it does well as an border or underplanting. I was very happy to notice a beautiful smell when it blooms. Very pretty old fashioned perennial. Hope to have a large drift soon.
