Indulge your garden in a sweet treat with Fruit Punch® Whipped Cream Dianthus, a pure white bloom that joins the Fruit Punch® Series of Dianthus—and a deliciously refreshing one at that. This variety produces crisp, snowy flowers that sit like dollops of whipped cream above glaucous blue-green foliage. Slightly larger than average at up to 1½ inches across, each bloom adds a clean, elegant brightness to sunny borders and perennial beds.
Fruit Punch® Whipped Cream Dianthus is bred for exceptional vigor, heat and humidity tolerance, and reliable rebloom. Its fragrant, semi- to fully double blooms appear first in early summer, then return after a light shearing to provide a second flush of color in early fall. Evergreen foliage keeps its cool-toned presence all year, offering structure and beauty even when the plant isn't in full flower.
Tough yet charming, this Dianthus thrives in full sun, resists deer, tolerates dry spells, and offers long-lasting performance for gardeners of every skill level. Whether lining a pathway, softening the edge of a border, or complementing roses and salvias, Fruit Punch® Whipped Cream Dianthus brings a creamy, classic touch that elevates any garden design. It's the kind of plant that looks delicate—but stands up to almost anything.
