There is nothing quite like the classic look of a perennial dianthus plant. Their bluish-grey, grass-like foliage is particularly showy throughout the growing season, and different varieties have different foliage growth habits, from mounding to slightly trailing.

Colors range from whites and pinks all the way to deep lilacs and reds, with many varieties mixing several colors for stunning combinations. Take a look below for a small sampling of some of the varieties we carry at Meadows Farms.<\/p>\n
