Dianthus, Allwood Pinks, Modern Pinks 'Desmond'

These plants are very hardy, require little care, and are evergreen vigorous non-stop bloomers. What else could you ask for?

Short 14" - Plant 10" apart. Deep blue-green foliage, bold red double flower.

I grow this all over my full afternoon sun garden in Boise, ID zone 6 (I don't know if it's Zone "a" or "b"). I ordered the plant about ...Read More4 years ago and they came as 1 stem in a little 2" pot. 4 years later they are 10" - 12" wide, 6" high woody mounds of evergreen foliage, with beautiful deep red flowers that, like the above member mentioned, look like little roses. I'd say they're in full bloom in early July. Mine have a very negligable scent, the air has to be warm and you've got to stick your nose down in 'em. DO NOT shear them back to the ground like you would other dianthus or pinks ... they will die :( I need to divide them and I came here looking for info on how to do so. Looks like Rootball division is the way!
