Bursting Blooming Brilliance!

The EverLast™ Burgundy Blush Dianthus (Dianthus EverLast 'KLEDG11143') is a showy, fragrant Garden Pink that explodes into bloom in spring with picotee perfection! These double, carnation-like flowers shine in deep burgundy-red with frosted soft pink edges and release a spicy clove scent that lingers on the breeze. A fragrant masterpiece, this reblooming beauty draws in butterflies, hummingbirds, bees—and compliments—by the dozens.

Burgundy Blush blooms prolifically in spring, nearly covering its tidy mound of grey-green foliage with masses of frilly blossoms. These blossoms are not just for show—each one offers florist-worthy appeal and makes an excellent cut flower. Standing short but spirited, this compact perennial keeps the color coming with light reblooming into summer and fall with a bit of deadheading!

Tough as they come, the EverLast™ series is celebrated for being cold-hardy down to USDA zone 3! With a love for full sun and excellent drainage, Dianthus thrives in cooler climates but performs with equal vigor in temperate zones.
