Coronet White Purple Eye Dianthus is a compact mat-forming perennial with tidy dark green foliage and sturdy hairy stems that do not flop and spicy scented bicolor blooms. The large soft white flowers with a bold raspberry eye and white stamen bloom first in spring, and can continue to intermediately bloom through fall if deadheaded. Blooms best in with afternoon shade in the south, and dry to average well-drained, slightly alkaline soil.
The Coronet series was previously sold as Corona.
