Compact dianthus with heavily frilled, raspberry-pink flowers often carrying a sweet clove fragrance. Forms a neat mound of blue-green foliage that is attractive even out of bloom and works well along paths, in rock gardens, or containers. Prefers full sun and well-drained, slightly alkaline soils and benefits from deadheading to prolong flowering.
