Bumbleberry Pie Dianthus is a compact mat-forming herbaceous perennial with tidy silver blue foliage and hairy stems. Its fragrant, saturated rose pink flowers with vivid red 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.
