AMERICAN PIE DIANTHUS 1gal

If you are looking for a plant that brings a touch of “homestyle” charm and incredible fragrance to your garden, the American Pie Dianthus series is an absolute treat. I love this collection (which includes mouth-watering varieties like ‘Georgia Peach Pie’, ‘Cherry Pie’, and ‘Key Lime Pie’) because it was specifically bred for huge, single blooms on exceptionally sturdy stems. These flowers don’t just sit therethey pop! Each bloom features a distinct “eye” in the center and beautifully fringed edges, looking like a perfectly decorated pastry.

For my neighbors here in Prescott, the American Pie series is a “blue-ribbon” winner because of its cold hardiness and drought tolerance. The foliage is a beautiful silvery-blue that forms a compact, mounded cushion, providing a great year-round look even when the plant isn’t in bloom. They thrive in our intense Arizona sun and are famous for their spicy, clove-like scent that can drift across a patio on a light breeze. Because the stems are so strong, they make excellent, long-lasting cut flowers for a small bud vase on your kitchen table.
