Organic Volcano Mix Dianthus
16-24" tall
85-95 days to bloom
Dianthus barbatus
Creating a carpet of luminescent petals swaying in the breeze, we swoon over these astonishing blooms & the pollinators do, too. If you’re looking for a shimmering cloud of color mid-summer to frost, look no further: only 16 to 24 inches tall, Volcano Mix dianthus thrives in gardens and containers alike. And they’re edible! Reminiscent of mild clove, pluck petals from their sepals for salads, desserts & summer drinks. These fully double blooms are beautiful as well as bountiful, perfect for bouquets; harvest as just a few flowers open on a head and enjoy up to two weeks in the vase.
