Details
Most Dianthus peter out when summer gets going, but 'Kahori' (which means 'Fragrance' in Japanese) keeps producing its beautiful, classic Dianthus flowers all summer and fall, and not in straggly ones and twos, either! An abundance of hot pink blooms hovers above neat clumps of silvery-green foliage, spreading their spicy-sweet perfume. Tolerates heat and drought, but needs good drainage.
