We decided to offer this Dianthus after having great success with it and being amazed by the size of its blooms. Diana Blueberry is a hybrid with huge blue-purple flowers. It is a seed propagated cultivar that sports blooms around 2 inches wide with some plants having 3 inch flowers. These are the largest Dianthus flowers we’ve ever seen. It is listed as an annual but often survives several years if given good drainage. Our plants performed well even in the hot summers of 2011 and 2012.
