Dianthus ‘American Pie Cherry Pie’
Large, fragrant pink‑red blooms and silver leaves bring bright, charming color to sunny garden borders.
Dianthus ‘American Pie Cherry Pie’ is a modern garden favorite that combines classic fragrance with improved bloom power. This compact perennial produces large, deep cherry‑pink flowers on sturdy stems above silvery‑blue foliage. It blooms profusely from late spring into summer, often reblooming with light deadheading. Perfect for edges, cottage gardens, and containers, it’s easy to grow and attracts butterflies while resisting deer.
