Wonderful as cut flowers and border fillers.
When you have this Dianthus in your garden you don't need to look up at the sky to see stars - Stargazer brings them right down to earth! This striking perennial presents brilliant white fringed petals with a deep maroon eye at its center. Its loveliness is further enhanced by its spicy almost herby scent which attracts plenty of attention from butterflies. Best of all, there's no need for vernalization! Stargazer's glaucous foliage grows in a compact mount and each single blooms is well supported by a sturdy and cut worthy stem. Place this stunning carnation at the forefront of your beds or tuck them around borders for an eye-catching effect! Zones 5-9.
