Its petals are double and fragrant, creating an enchanting visual spectacle and attracting butterflies and pollinators. This cultivar is distinguished by its evergreen bluish-green foliage, adding an aesthetic dimension that lasts until the start of winter. This plant is dense and spreads harmoniously, perfect for borders, in rockeries, ''Cottage'' style gardens, as a ground cover, as a spill in container gardens, or even in cascades along the walls of support. Its low water consumption once established, its abundant flowering from spring to fall, and its ease of maintenance make it a versatile perennial. The Odessa Amy Dianthus is a magnificent addition to any garden, offering a profusion of flowers and fragrance all season long.
