A striking perennial with an abundance of clove-scented, completely double, peachy-orange blooms with frilly edges is Dianthus caryophyllus SuperTrouper Orange. The spring and summer blossoms are born on tall stalks and float above a modest mound of slender gray-green leaves. A capable performer, this carnation makes beautiful and durable cut flowers and is ideal for the sunny border and patio containers.
