It’s hard not to love Rosebud Dianthus, and this flirty carnation will have you head over heels! With deeply blushing, ruffled flowers that emerge from compact blue-green foliage, Rosebud is simply breathtaking.

Rosebud Dianthus has fragrant perennial blooms from spring to summer, and it is renowned for being quite long-lived as a cut flower. Growing a mere foot tall and wide, this petite evergreen plant is a powerhouse of color and texture interest. On top of all that, it can even withstand drought conditions.

Rosebud Dianthus is a sun-loving beauty, but doesn’t mind part shade and does well in average soil as long as it is fairly loose and well drained. Thrives best in zones 5 to 9.
