Annual. Rainbow Loveliness has fragrance: glorious, heavenly, sinfully delicious and intoxicatingly jasminy. Such scent, often bred out of modern hybrids, is the primary attribute which gives Dianthus its deserved reputation among avid fans. Neither do their looks disappoint: a bit out of this world, like terrestrial sea anemone, with segmented pentagon eyes out of which wave deeply fringed blooms, creating a wispy feathery effect. Grows 14" tall. Mix of carmine, white, pink and bicolored 1½" blooms in loose clusters. Blooms late July from early June transplanting. About 1,200 seeds/g. ③
