Odessa Bling Bling Dianthus opens fully double flowers in clear yellow, each one flecked with red and warmed by a strong orange center, above a compact cushion of narrow green leaves. Dianthus caryophyllus 'Odessa Bling Bling' comes as a live 4-inch plant already setting buds.

This is a front-row plant: sunny border edges, rock gardens, gravel pockets and patio pots where a low mound of color has to earn its keep from summer into fall. It asks for sharp drainage and full sun and very little else once settled. Butterflies work the flowers, and the stems cut well for a small vase.

Fun fact: the genus name joins the Greek dios and anthos - flower of the gods - a compliment paid by Theophrastus more than two thousand years ago.
