Dianthus amurensis 'Siberian Blues'

Post by rafique »

Hardy Perennial

Compact, bushy mounds of bluish evergreen foliage erupt into a sea of mauve-blue flowers in late spring and are the closest yet to a true blue Dianthus. Ideal planted in borders, rockeries and containers, flowering over a long period each summer for many, many years. (Ref: Thompson and Morgan)

Great. Good to know that there's an evergreen Dianthus variety. Presumably the seeds were sown in October & November. I hope it survives & thrives.
