Meet the Super Trouper Dianthus family, distinguished by their mission to bring a real Carnation look to garden Dianthus while maintaining the dense, garden friendly form of these workhorse, front of the border plants. ‘Super Trouper Magenta White’ accomplishes this goal very well as its tight bun of deep green, long, strap-like foliage forms a dense, tight bun that gives rise to loads of stems that rise above carrying fat buds. These buds burst open in mid May to show off quarter to half dollar sized, fully double blooms with mostly magenta petals that fade to a white picotee look at each of the petal’s edges. It’s a startling look that you might usually find just at the florist not the garden and a look that is made even better by the dreamy scent each flower sends into the garden. Plant this selection in full to partial sun and group it for a scented show of bloom that will make mid spring memorable.
