Description
Telstar Purple Dianthus is a compact mat-forming perennial with tidy deep green foliage and sturdy hairy stems that do not flop. The spicy fragrant bright purple flowers with hot pink overtones and frilly edges are densely packed and bloom from early spring until frost. Blooms best in full sun and slightly alkaline, moist, and well-drained soil. The Telsar series has improved disease resistance. Deer resistant.
