Dianthus 'Fire Star'
Dianthus 'Fire Star' is a compact, evergreen alpine pink producing masses of vivid, deep red flowers above neat cushions of blue-grey foliage. The intensely coloured blooms provide a striking contrast against the foliage and create a vibrant display from late spring into summer.
Renowned for its strong clove fragrance, this charming variety is perfect for rockeries, gravel gardens, alpine troughs, pots and containers. Its compact habit and excellent drought tolerance once established make it an easy and rewarding choice for sunny positions.
'Fire Star' offers a more vivid flower colour than many similar dianthus varieties, with sturdy foliage providing year-round interest even when not in bloom.
