Appleblossom Burst Dianthus is a compact semi-evergreen perennial with mat-forming narrow frosted blue-green foliage and heavy flowering. The large, spicy scented, fully double ruffled flowers open white with dark crimson center marks and blushes to deep pink over time, and bloom through summer into fall. Blooms best in full sun and slightly alkaline, moist, and well-drained soil.
