The Dianthus Roshish One, 'Dianthus', is a Fleming legacy via the University of Nebraska. With its wonderful velvety, dark rose flower with dainty traces of white, it is a definite favorite. Not to mention its grassy blue-gray foliage and profuse blooming time, ‘Roshish One’ is one not to miss. Dianthus ‘Roshish One’ has a plant spread of 8-12” and a height of 10”.
Dianthus will bloom from mid summer to early fall. In order for a longer bloom time, deadhead the blooms continuously throughout the summer. Dianthus needs a sunny site with well-drained soil, but will tolerate some shade in the afternoon and humidity. These fragrant, spicy dove like flowers look wonderful as a border plant, in rock gardens, along walks or paths, or edging and in cottage gardens. (PPAF)
