Overview
Prickly Dianthus (Acantholimon litvinovii) forms large, spiny cushions of blue-grey rosettes in sunny rock gardens or arid landscapes. Its prickly nature makes it an excellent choice for keeping critters out with a low maintenance groundcover. Flowering with tiny white-pink blossoms in late spring, followed by attractive seed heads, these compact mounding plants offer delicate color and a hardy nature to the waterwise garden.
