3 Dianthus (Pinks) are the little gems of the garden. Perfect in the front of the border, as edging, or in a rock garden. They add spots of bright color and neat, clean foliage to the landscape. Many varieties bloom in the fall as well as the spring, and dead-heading encourages this. Plant them in a sunny area where the soil drains well, and they ll come back reliably every year.
