Dianthus barbatus var. nigrescens ‘Sooty’
This is for the black flower fancier! Densely packed heads of chocolate-maroon flowers on red stems. Mature foliage turns from mid-green to mahogany. Worth adding to the early summer colour at the front of the border. Will be incredible with yellows or blue-greens.
