Gardening Tips From Fran
Dianthus Tiny Rubies is one of the first plants I ever grew.
It's just an old standby that out performs most plants in the garden. Worth every penny, 365 days a year.
Super plant! Tough, dependable and fragrant !
A winner in anyone's garden! Plant along a border , edge or in a container ...you will not be disappointed! Dianthus will cross over for lawn replacement and
pathways
