Named for their lacy, serrated petals, these wonderful dianthus combine the bloom size and earliness of the 'Ideals'with the habit of the 'Telstars.' The flowers reach up to 1 1/2-in. (4-cm) across, the largest of any D. hybrida series. Outstanding heat tolerance makes this 8 to 10-in. (20 to 25-cm) dianthus especially suited to Spring production in the North and for Fall production in the South.
Look at a Floral Lace Dianthus snapshot. Cherry Performs well in pack and garden in both Spring and Fall.

Blush Multiple stems with a spray shape and fringed flowers 1 in. (2.5 cm) in diameter from Spring to Fall make a lovely filler for cut-flower arrangements. Adds height to borders, shows well in containers. Good for gallon programs. Look at Melody Series Dianthus snapshot.

Carmine Rose
Exceptional addition to both bedding and commercial cutflower programs is highlighted by lightly scented, lavender blooms on well-branched plants with strong, straight stems. Outdoors, vigorous, 18 to 24-in. (46 to 61-cm) 'Bouquet Purple' has good heat tolerance. Well-suited to 4-in. (10-cm) pots and gallons for use in landscapes and backyard cutting gardens, plants overwinter in many areas and are tender perennials hardy to Zone 5.
The compact, early-flowering series produces 3/4-in. (2-cm) blooms. Crimson Fringed, 1 1/2-in. (4-cm), single blooms highlight dense foliage. Coral The vigorous series is a super large-flowered replacement for 'Parfait' -- blooms are up to 50% larger than the original, with the same consistent eyed pattern for both vibrant colors. An extremely early and compact, basal-branching series, the 8 to 10-in. (20 to 25-cm) plants are best suited to packs and 4-in. (10-cm) programs. Flower pattern and colors remain the same as the original.
Super Raspberry. Crimson with dark eye. The compact, 6 to 8-in. (15 to 20-cm) plants bear extra-large, salmon scarlet flowers.
