Jolt Pink arrives in color fast—these dianthus open their petals early in the season and keep flowering through fall if you pinch off spent blooms. The ruffled pink flowers have the spicy clove scent dianthus are known for, and they hold up well in a vase.

Set them in a sunny spot with decent drainage and water when the ground starts to dry out. They'll fill a border, tumble from a container, or give you reliable cut flowers for months.
