Notes
'Westwood Beauty' dianthus (Dianthus 'Westwood Beauty') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and containers. 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Coral Charm peony, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
