Notes

'Supra Purple F1' dianthus (Dianthus 'Supra Purple F1') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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 rarely make it their first choice. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and the flowers are fragrant. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Blue fescue, and Stargazer lily.
