This plant is heat and salt tolerant, deer resistant and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s a great choice to plant along walkways, on the edge of border gardens and in mass plantings and rock gardens. It can also be grown as a container plant. Paint the Town Fuchsia Pinks Dianthus can be divided every 2 or 3 years if desired. Paint the Town Fuchsia Pinks Dianthus is sometimes just commonly called pinks.
