FIRST LOVE DIANTHUS 1gal

If you’re looking for a plant that captures the magic of a changing sunset, the 'First Love' Dianthus is a perennial that will absolutely steal your heart. I love this variety because it is a "color-changer"—a single plant produces masses of fragrant blooms that start out pure white, transition to soft pink, and eventually mature into a deep rose-lavender. Because the flowers open at different times, you get a stunning tricolor effect all on one plant, making it look like a hand-tied bouquet growing right out of the ground.

What makes 'First Love' a standout for our Prescott gardens is its incredible resilience and spicy, clove-like fragrance that perfumes the air on warm afternoons. It forms a tidy, mounded cushion of evergreen, needle-like foliage that stays attractive even when the plant isn't in bloom. It’s exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and loves our bright Arizona sun. Plant it along a walkway or in a container near your patio where you can enjoy the scent and watch the colors shift throughout the season.
