I could go on and on about how I LOVE this plant. I love dianthus period and this is one of my favorites! Lovely blue/green foliage lik...Read Moree many dianthus .... but the show off part of this plant is the flowers. So pretty! A sort of magenta. With PERFECT white spots on each leaf and white edgeing. Looks like a little picture or an abstract painting or a little girl's dress pattern! :) The scent is "weaker" than some dianthus and since I'm a scent lover and this is still one of my favorites that says something. The scent is characterisitcly clovey. Easy to grow in full sun and well drained soil. Deadhead to encourage further flowering.

But really I think the difference is negligible. :)
