RE: Dianthus

Paul,
	Almost any D. plumarius is highly scented.  My particular fav is Rose du
Mai, an heirloom pink double with long stems and a heavenly fragrance.  Nice
blue leaves too.

Any one growing a really heavy scented hardy Dianthus?

I am on the look out for strong scents, at one time I had one that smelled
like cloves.

It seems that the current breeding is getting away from scent.

I have decided to start a simple breeding program to develop a scented mix.
Help!!


Paul
