Dianthus Fruit Punch 'Spiked Punch'
Dianthus Fruit Punch® 'Spiked Punch' is a vigorous perennial celebrated for its double-flowered, ultra-fragrant blooms. This compact plant showcases masses of frilly, fuchsia-pink flowers, approximately 1.5 to 2 inches wide, emitting a strong, spicy clove-like aroma that naturally deters deer and rabbits. Its dense, steely gray-blue foliage offers year-round contrast and is tolerant of heat and humidity. Ideal for garden edges, borders, and containers, this variety blooms in early spring and may rebloom in fall with prompt deadheading. It thrives in USDA Zones 4-9.
