Dianthus

Post by shadylanejewel »

I have a very large patch of dianthus growing just inside the shade garden area. Smells incredible!

Yes to you both. I'll save some seeds. The color is not quite the same as that photo it is really more pink. So I'll try to get a better photo.

Pink is good for me too Julie. I don't have a double Dianthus. Since we are in the perennial forum, I'm assuming your is a perennial.
Your a sweetheart for saving some seeds. I can send you some stamps when it comes time, or if I have any seeds you like, we can do a swap. Daylily seed perhaps? :lol:

That is very pretty, I have never seen a double before and I didn't know they could be perennials, I have only grown them as annuals.
