Notes
'SuperTrouper Orange' carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus 'SuperTrouper Orange') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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 soil of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and the flowers are fragrant. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Fountain grass, and Eden rose.
