Key Lime Pie Dianthus is a compact mat-forming herbaceous perennial with tidy dark blue green foliage and hairy stems. Its fragrant, white flowers with unique apple green centers bloom in late spring through summer. Blooms best in full sun and slightly alkaline, moist, and well-drained soil. The American Pie series has improved cold and drought tolerance.
