A new beauty with an old-fashioned look is 'Noverna Clown' Dianthus (Dianthus barbatus). This sun-loving, heat- and frost-tolerant annual features fragrant clusters of half-inch flowers that--are you ready for this?--open white then create marvelous color patterns by changing to hues of pink, purple or salmon. (We don't know about you, but we have to see this one in our garden.)
