Dianthus 'Cliffords Select'
This bright red dianthus is very similar to 'Frosty Fire'. The original plant was a single flowering red. Once it was put in tissue culture it came out looking almost identical to 'Frosty Fire'. The flowers are full doubles, semi doubles and singles.

Dianthus barbatus 'Heart Attack'
Dianthus 'Heart Attack' is 15-18" high and sports deep red flowers. Although dianthus barbatus is a biennial, 'Heart Attack' is reliably perennial.  After 3 winters in Michigan it still bloomed. However, the flower stalks in the third year only reached 10" in height. We introduced a stunning true red sport of 'Heart Attack' in 2009 named 'Red Romance' PP.
