Odessa Red Dianthus (Dianthus caryophyllus 'Odessa Red') is a sophisticated perennial carnation that brings old-world charm and intoxicating fragrance to the modern garden. This variety features large, fully double blossoms in a deeply saturated, velvety scarlet red. The petals are elegantly "pinking" (fringed) at the edges, and the flowers emit a spicy, clove-like scent that is a delight to the senses, especially in the cool air of morning or evening.

As a hardy member of the Dianthus genus, 'Odessa Red' forms a tidy mound of slender, blue-grey evergreen foliage that remains attractive year-round. It is a repeat bloomer, providing waves of crimson color from spring through summer. Why you’ll love it: Intense spicy fragrance, rich scarlet color, and a rugged, drought-tolerant nature that works beautifully in rock gardens, path edges, or as a long-lasting cut flower.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and requires excellent drainage to remain vigorous.

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!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
