Those red diascias are a surprising new love this year. They were given to me by my boss and I am very grateful.<br /><br />I am sorry you can't grow dianthus, you are right about all their attributes. That evergreen foliage does set off later bloomers for sure! Great point! But yeah...they get large, for sure.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-17059056633883787512019-05-23T21:54:31.078-07:002019-05-23T21:54:31.078-07:00Aw, thank you so much!

I was immediately charmed by Helwingia chinensis but an on-line check-in with Monrovia informed me in flat terms that my zone 11 climate is too hot for it.

I've only ever seen diascias on a garden trip to Seattle decades ago, and not since; those red ones are prettier than any I saw then. <br /><br />Fragrant Dianthus are a garden treasure, particularly pined for by those of us with soil and climate less suitable for them. The mats of foliage are handsome, too, and set off later bloomers beautifully if the post-bloom shearing gets done. I found it was easy and fun when plants were small, but hard to do well when they spread to cover significant ground.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969732734453586544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-27029903945288407862019-05-23T10:19:00.856-07:002019-05-23T10:19:00.856-07:00Really lovely plant collection and design!
