Dianthus 'Grenadin King of Blacks'

Dianthus caryophyllus 'Grenadin King of Blacks'

4-inch pot

 

A striking and classic dianthus, King of Blacks features deep maroon to near-black flowers that create a bold, velvety display in late spring and early summer. The rich, dramatic blooms contrast beautifully with the compact mound of blue-green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding depth and intensity to borders, rock gardens, and containers. The flowers are also lightly fragrant, adding another layer of appeal.

 

This variety performs best in well-drained soil and sunny locations, where it maintains a tight, compact form and flowers most heavily. It benefits from good air circulation and occasional deadheading to encourage continued blooming. A reliable and eye-catching perennial for sunny garden spaces.
