Notes
'SuperTrouper Silver Pink' carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus 'SuperTrouper Silver Pink') 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. The fragrant blooms open in spring and again in summer, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The erect stems reach up to 24 inches tall.
