China Pinks
Dianthus x chinensis ‘Super
Parfait Strawberry’
(dy-AN-thus)
Synonyms: Dwarf Dianthus
This seemed like such a happy
flower when I saw it at the nursery. Red and white is one of my favorite color
schemes in the garden and this lines up perfectly. It is an annual plant here
but you can sometimes get seedlings to return. The label said this cultivar
grows 6 to 12 inches and that is perfect for a nice color carpet.
Since it is Sunday here is
bonus shot of another rose. The flowers actually looked a little more yellow in
real life. You can see the conditions were not perfect for picture snapping.

by Harkness & Co. Ltd., 1998

I like the fragrance of China Pinks, yours is a pretty one, bright and cheery.
Gorgeous flowers. That rose looks good enough to eat.
I have never seen a pink dianthus before!
Thanks for sharing!
