Dianthus.
The Dianthus, or Chinese pink has long been a great garden favorite. It is, in fact, one of our most useful plants, furnishing abundance of gay and pretty flowers until frozen in with the earth and covered by drifting snows.

We know we are doing our customers a kindness by urging them to plant the Dianthus for both garden and pots.
