Cranberry Cocktail Dianthus is a compact mat-forming evergreen perennial with blue-grey foliage and hairy stems. Masses of fragrant, hot magenta pink carnation-like flowers bloom first in early summer, and again in early fall if deadheaded. Blooms best in full sun and slightly alkaline, moist, and well-drained soil. Heat, drought, and salt tolerant.
