Notes

'Constant Beauty Crush Pink' carnation (Dianthus 'Constant Beauty Crush Pink') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Fragrant flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract butterflies and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The evergreen foliage stays attractive through winter.

Pairs well with Catmint, Coneflower, and Black Taffeta coral bells.
