Notes
'Chabaud Orange Sherbet' dianthus (Dianthus caryophyllus 'Chabaud Orange Sherbet') is a perennial for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. It is an old French garden heirloom.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Buckeye Belle peony, and Cornflower.
