DIANTHUS x allwoodii Danielle Marie - Perpetual Flowering Pinks - Short 8-10". - Plant 10" apart zone 3-8 Fully double striking red pink flowers on longer stems. With their aqua blue foliage, they thrive in a sunny spot. The more they are cut, the more they bloom. 8" plants. 12"-14" in flower, from early summer on.

Plant Care:
Deadheading and picking flowers for indoors will prolong blooming. Do not shear foliage. Needs a well drained soil.

General Information:
With its everlasting aqua blue foliage, 6 - 8 "plants. 12-14 "in flower, from early summer on. They are a great fragrant cut flower.
