Easy to grow, more heat tolerant than other perennial Dianthus, and longer blooming, ‘Red Beauty’ forms a carpet of attractive ice-blue evergreen foliage that is smothered in heavenly fragrant, clove-scented flowers with striking, brilliant red petals that are serrated around the edges. It begins blooming in early spring and continues through summer and fall if the spent flowers are deadheaded, feeding the butterflies and hummingbirds over a long period. Easy to grow and drought tolerant when established, Red Beauty is excellent for sunny cottage gardens, rock gardens, and on or around patios and other outdoor living spaces where the fragrance and cute flowers can be enjoyed up close.

Growing in a dense spreading mound about 6 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, the Red Beauty Dianthus is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or massed in sunny landscape borders and on slopes. It is also excellent for edging garden beds, paths, walkways, and patios. Its smaller size makes it an excellent candidate as a solo or mixed with other plants in pots, planters, and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, sunny perennial gardens, pink theme gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
