Dianthus Starburst 1L

Dianthus ‘Starburst’ is a stunning, compact perennial known for its vibrant, bi-colored flowers that feature a pale pink to white base with a bold, deep pink star-shaped center. The delicate, fringed petals enhance its intricate beauty, while its sweet, clove-like fragrance adds to its appeal. The plant forms a neat, bushy mound of narrow, blue-green foliage, typically reaching 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) in height.

Blooming from late spring through summer, ‘Starburst’ thrives in well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil and prefers full sun for optimal growth. It is an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, and cottage-style plantings, offering long-lasting color and charm. This variety is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts pollinators, making it a low-maintenance yet eye-catching addition to any garden. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering.
