Very nice... filled in a rock garden space very quickly. The foliage on mine has turned very dark green, which gives one more good bit of contrast when it is not in bloom. Blooming deep magenta this year, but was more pink last year. Why?!

Purchased a total of 3 3-inch potted plants in April 2003 and in May 2004 these have grown into a 18-24 inch mat. Foliage was semi-evergreen for me this past winter which was mild. Is now producing nice thick patch of blooms for me. (see photo gallery). Zone 5b/6
Lovely little flower, but unlike the several other dianthus cultivars here in our z5 garden, this one blooms only sparsely - not so much as to give it a negative at this point as this is only year 2 in our garden.
