(aka: Dianthus 'Uribest52') Dianthus 'Bright Light' is an absolutely superb new addition to the world of heat and humidity loving hardy carnations. This new gold standard in hardy carnations is an upgrade over the previous standard, Dianthus 'Kahori'. This gem resulted from a cross of Dianthus alpinus x Dianthus callizonus, made and selected by the breeders at Korea's Uriseed. In our trials, this amazing hardy carnation forms a tight 10" tall x 2' wide clump of silver foliage, smothered, starting for us in mid April, with a dense show of sweetly fragrant, carmine red flowers. The tolerance to heat, humidity, and heavy summer rains is truly extraordinary.
