About This Plant
Dianthus Odesa Cerise Bling B (Carnation), 'Carnation', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Pinks, Sweet Williams, and Carnations (Dianthus) are old-fashioned perennials with intensely fragrant frilled flowers in pink, white, red, or bicolored. Many are evergreen with blue-gray foliage.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, alkaline, lean soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 9. Sharp drainage essential. Shear after flowering for repeat bloom.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
