There’s nothing old-fashioned about Scent First® ‘Romance’ Dianthus. The ruffled blooms of this Garden Pink unfurl in late spring in shades of salmon pink with a crimson center and are bred specifically for scent and compact habit. Dianthus makes a fantastic cut flower, and the spicy, evocative fragrance is sure to encourage you to cut a few of those sturdy stems for inside vases. Grow in well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil in the front of a sunny bed or border or get creative – Dianthus love cracks between paving stones or bricks. The spiky, silvery blue foliage is attractive during the entire growing season and will make a great contrast against yellow flowers, such as coreopsis, as summer rolls on. ‘Romance’ Dianthus is deer resistant and will re-bloom if deadheaded and fed after its initial spring bloom. A terrific perennial choice for containers too.
