Dianthus Eb Frosty

Tight compact mats of silvery foliage bear many erect stems with multiple buds that open to form double, fringed, white fragrant flowers. Blooms earlier than other dianthus. Easy to grow in a sunny site with average, to sandy, well drained soil. Does not like a site that is wet over the winter.  Zone 6-9. Plant in rock gardens or particularly useful as edging plants in the front of a sunny border or walkway with sedum, gypsophila repens, creeping phlox, short yarrows, and alpine aster.
