There are a lot of Dianthus on the market vying for your attention so a new selection has to have a lot going for it to register in your conciousness. First Scent™ Eternity will do just that with a combination of outstanding garden characteristics that may have you ridding your garden of all those old, less stellar varieties. What makes this selection so impressive? Let’s start with its profusion of semi-double, deep rose red flowers that are held 4″ above its blue-green foliage starting in early to mid May creating a substantial cloud of color in your mid spring garden. Add the outstanding strong, spicy scent these flowers bring that will make you want to sit in the garden for a whiff even in the worst of weather! Add a dash of the best Dianthus foliage you can find that forms a tight bun or blue green color that will look awesome even after the bloom is gone and finish with a summer rebloom that is enhanced by deadheading that will bring a colorful, scented encore to the summer garden. What a package for such an undemanding plant that will thrive in groups in sunny, moist, well drained garden spots.
