Orange Meringue Dianthus opens fully double, softly ruffled flowers in a warm apricot-orange, held on firm stems above a tidy mound of narrow blue-green foliage. The scent is the surprise: a rich, unmistakable clove.

Because the fragrance is the point, put it where people pass close — an edging run beside a walk, a pot by the back door, the front rank of a sunny border, a pocket in a gravel garden. It blooms spring through fall if you keep deadheading, the foliage stays neat between flushes, and the stems are stiff enough to cut for a small vase.

Fun fact: Dianthus comes from the Greek for flower of the gods. The clove scent runs through the old garden pinks and carnations, and it is why they were once steeped in wine and called sops-in-wine.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
