Dianthus Sweetie Pie PP 27989 4b followed by really small purpleDianthus 'Sweetie Pie', from our friends at Walters Gardens, is truly a sight to behold in flower. The dense 18" wide mound of ever grey foliage is topped, starting for us in mid April with a yuuuge number of semi double, sweetly fragrant, pink flowers on 10" stalks. Good drainage and plenty of sun are the keys to a long and intimate relationship with your 'Sweetie Pie'.
