Dianthus erinaceus takes drier soils With tight foliage and largeUnique tight spherical plant, prickly as a prickly thing. And flowers as well. What more could you want in a trough? Supposedly bright pink if you can find a reference to it, maybe mine is palest pinkish.. no its more mauve to me! It is certianly an unusual absolutely spiny little diminutive hump that will outlive any dianthus in terms of hardiness and most else besides. A vegetable hedgehog. Pretty when not in flower too. I have seeds if you are
