Notes

'Corona Cherry Magic' dianthus (Dianthus 'Corona Cherry Magic') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage 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 clay soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Blue fescue, and Queen of Night tulip.
