Velvet n Lace Dianthus Corydalis solida severing the roots on oneA fragrant and decorative dianthus with velvety, burgundy black petals edged in creamy white. Particularly excellent in containers and rock gardens, the clove scented blooms also add interest to vase arrangements. Flowers emerge from a low mound of blue green foliage, taking a break during the hottest part of summer. Pairs beautifully with low grasses and Alliums. Cut back after spring bloom for a second flowering in fall. Biennial.
