Description
Dianthus Oscar 'Purple Star' is a showy, early-blooming variety known for its striking bi-color flowers and tidy, mounding habit. A standout member of the Oscar Series, this cultivar produces masses of fragrant, rich magenta-purple blooms with a contrasting star-shaped white center, creating a brilliant pop of color in borders, containers, and rock gardens.
It’s a compact and cold-tolerant perennial or cool-season annual (depending on zone), valued for its long bloom time, sweet clove-like fragrance, and low maintenance needs. Excellent for edging and pollinator-friendly plantings.
