Few perennials combine year-round elegance and robust performance like the Glamour Time™ Carnation. This exceptional Dianthus variety boasts vibrant, cheerful blooms that brighten any garden setting with a refined splash of brilliance. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for both container planting and landscape design, while its remarkable durability ensures lasting beauty through changing seasons. Whether you're a dedicated collector, landscaper, or casual gardener, Glamour Time™ Carnation offers a reliable and eye-catching addition that truly elevates your outdoor space. Its irresistible color and resilience make it a standout choice for sustained garden charm.

Brilliant Blooms with Lasting Charm

Glamour Time™ bursts into flower with vivid, rosy-pink petals edged in lighter tones that almost shimmer in the sun. Each bloom is perfectly formed—delicately fringed and pleasantly fragrant, carrying the classic clove-sweet scent that defines fine Dianthus varieties. Flowers appear early in the season and continue through summer, often reblooming when lightly trimmed after the first flush.

Planted in borders, containers, or mixed rock gardens, its color doesn’t just complement—it elevates. Against silvery-blue foliage, these blossoms stand out like gems, catching sunlight and the attention of every passerby.

Compact Form, Big Impact

With a tidy, mounding habit, Glamour Time™ Dianthus reaches about 6–8 inches tall and spreads approximately 10–12 inches wide. Its low, cushion-like foliage makes it a beautiful choice for edging walkways, planting along garden walls, or softening the base of taller perennials. This dense growth habit also keeps weeds at bay and helps it look neat even when not in bloom—a trait prized by both busy homeowners and professional landscapers.

The foliage itself remains attractive year-round, forming a silvery-green mat that withstands mild winters and adds texture to fall and spring displays. In mild regions, the plant is semi-evergreen, giving lasting appeal beyond the flowering season.

Easy to Grow and Care For

Part of what makes Glamour Time™ so irresistible is how effortlessly it thrives. Full sun and well-drained soil are its only real requirements. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods with ease, making it a superb option for low-maintenance landscapes or rock garden settings.

To encourage the best performance:

• Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then reduce frequency as the plant matures.
• Deadhead spent blooms to stimulate reblooming and maintain shape.
• Shear lightly after flowering to refresh foliage and encourage a tidy mound.
• Feed sparingly, using a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring for lush bloom and healthy growth.

Experienced gardeners will appreciate how easily Glamour Time™ fits into mixed perennial plantings, while beginners will enjoy how forgiving and resilient it is with just minimal attention.

Perfect for Gardeners Who Love Beauty That Lasts

Whether brightening a patio container, defining a border, or adding romance to a cottage garden, Glamour Time™ Dianthus performs with classic grace. Its long bloom period, compact size, and distinctive fragrance create instant charm wherever planted. If you’re looking for a perennial that’s as reliable as it is radiant, Glamour Time™ deserves a prime spot in your garden lineup.
