Description / Dianthus Scent First® Sugar Plum
Dianthus Scent First® Sugar Plum
A standout in the award winning Scent First® Collection, Dianthus 'Sugar Plum' brings vibrant color, fragrance, and repeat bloom power to sunny gardens. This compact, mounded perennial reaches just 11 inches tall and wide, yet bursts with richly colored, double pink flowers edged in white. The ruffled petals open from deep chocolate buds, delivering a striking contrast against the plant?s silvery blue foliage. Blooming from early summer into fall, 'Sugar Plum' brings lasting charm and spicy fragrance to garden beds and containers.
This variety thrives in full sun and well drained soil, making it ideal for mass plantings, borders, or decorative containers. Use it to edge garden beds, fill small spaces, or anchor mixed planters with reliable color and form. The flowers are excellent for cutting, and the strong stems keep blooms upright and showy. Pair with lavender, salvia, or ornamental grasses for a textured and fragrant display that supports pollinators.
Cold hardy in Zones 5 to 9, Dianthus 'Sugar Plum' is heat tolerant, deer resistant, and easy to care for with regular deadheading. Part of the Scent First® Collection bred for garden performance and scent, this variety rewards with continuous blooms and strong garden presence. A dependable favorite with a truly memorable fragrance, 'Sugar Plum' offers beauty you can enjoy up close and from across the garden.
