Lilac Carnations come with a double pinwheel-like trio of colors with magenta, pink, and frilly lilac petals. Enjoy the contrast of blue-green grass-like foliage to enhance the cool colored blossoms. Place this carnation near the front of the bed to breathe in the fragrance. Stop and watch the pollinators linger and take a peek too. This Dianthus is an easy-care plant that favors alkaline soils, full sun, and well-draining soil. Expect her to grow 8-12 inches tall and wide.

*Our blooms vary and may not arrive as they are pictured. We ship our plants still in buds, so you can enjoy a fresh bloom in your home.*

About Lilac Carnation

 

This Dianthus is a looker in more ways than one! A fable describes Diana the Goddess growing fond of a shepherd boy that didn't return the affection. Her embarrassment and anger for this rejection got the best of her, and she gouged his eyes out. Where they fell, the Dianthus grew in their place. An ode to the boy in the form of this beautiful carnation's bloom seems fitting.

Dianthus are tight knit and sprawl a bit like a carpet making a good ground cover. Keep them in well draining soil with a neutral to alkaline pH. Add dolomite lime if the soil is too acidic.

Dianthus bloom in throughout the growing season from spring to fall and some even have a spicy fragrance. Dianthus bloom attracts moths and butterflies to the garden. Even when the Dianthus is not blooming, it has a blue-green foliage that adds color to the garden borders.
