Bold Color, Fruity Fragrance, and Evergreen Foliage

As the name suggests, the Fruit Punch® ‘Maraschino’ Dianthus brings fruity beauty (and fragrance!) to any space. Sometimes called Pinks, this perennial also boasts a longer blooming season than many other Dianthus varieties.

The Pinks' deep red blooms are hard to miss, bursting forth atop spikey, silvery-blue foliage. Its vibrant double flowers feature fringed petals and a delicate fragrance reminiscent of the Maraschino cherry.  

Whether you’re planting Pinks to add a pop of color against monochrome landscaping or to add depth to a mosaic of garden hues, you’ll love the adaptability of this Dianthus. Pinks can be arranged as a border plant for footpaths or larger planting areas. They also thrive in containers or when planted in bulk. Regardless of where you place these stunning blossoms, you can expect robust flowers that are aromatic and quite tolerant of heat and humidity. 

Though their color and versatility are a welcome addition in almost any outdoor space, Pinks are often incorporated into rock gardens and landscapes created with the cottage or eclectic style.
