Dianthus Cherry Vanilla has amazing bi-colored flowers that are cherry pink in the center with a light pink to white edge. Produced in abundance above mounds of blue-green foliage this is truly an outstanding perennial for a sunny well-drained site.
Part of the Fruit Punch® series, 'Cherry Vanilla' has fully doubled, carnation-like flowers that look just as good in a small vase of water as they do in beds and borders or in containers. Listen in as David Wilson discovers a batch of plants that are destined to a garden center in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States. Listen in as he explains how this variety produces lots of new flower buds from deep inside the clump to extend the flowering period. He goes on to explain how each flower opens to display a delightful picotee edge that makes the whole plant pop. The sweetly scented fragrance is something else you are going to enjoy.
Add to that, low maintenance, drought tolerance (once established), the fact that it attracts butterflies and other pollinators and we hope you can see how this cute little perennial is a must have for your garden. A quick trim to snip out old flowers will encourage them to rebloom in early fall. Cherry Vanilla and other Dianthus in the Fruit Punch series are the perfect size for the front of beds and borders, rock gardens, raised beds and combination planting in pots, window boxes, and decorative containers.
