Jackson & Perkins Dianthus American Pie

This variety is a prolific bloomer, offering continuous flowers from mid-spring all the way through mid-fall. It is specifically bred to provide three seasons of interest rather than a single, short burst of color.

It is an excellent choice for containers. Its compact, mounding habit and 12-inch mature size make it perfectly suited for pots, window boxes, or mixed planters where you can enjoy its fragrance up close.

The foliage of this Dianthus is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and scent of this variety are generally unappealing to browsing deer.

It thrives in well-draining, gritty loam. Good drainage is essential for this plant, so avoid heavy clay soils that hold too much water, which can lead to root issues.

Yes, it is quite resilient. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and features improved disease resistance, meaning you won't need to fuss over it constantly to keep it looking healthy.

Absolutely. The spice-scented, rose-pink flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a great functional addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
