Dianthus


Last year, a warm and sunny April meant flowers bloomed early and veggies were ready for harvest earlier than normal. For example, Dianthus bloomed two weeks earlier in 2010.

Dianthus makes a nice ground cover since it will spread. Some people find the pink flowers sickly sweet, but most people think they are fun. Since the blooms only last a week or two, the foliage needs to hold interest. I really like the blue/green spiky leaves that are soft to the touch.
