Lost during the winter. The young plant has rotted while its congeners are still here. What a shame!

Description
Dianthus 'Pop Star' is part of a new range of hybrid carnations called Whetman Stars, selected for their early and fragrant flowering and compact habit. This dwarf carnation forms a neat, evergreen cushion of grey-green foliage that remains attractive all year round. It boasts a delightful summer flowering of double flowers with fringed edges in a lavender-pink colour enhanced by a small cherry-red eye. This very hardy and low-maintenance variety is a wonderful perennial for rockeries and sunny containers.
Dianthus 'Pop Star' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a recent cultivar, selected in England for its hardiness, compact size, and ease of cultivation. The growth of this carnation is quite rapid. Its mature height, slightly taller than the varieties in this range, will not exceed 20cm (8in) when in flower, with a spread of 30cm (12in). This carnation forms a dense clump, composed of stems adorned with slender leaves. From June to August, it produces slender and short stems bearing solitary, double flowers with strongly fringed edges, displaying a small central halo of red that adorns a corolla of light lavender-pink. The fragrance of the flowers is more pronounced in warm weather. Its linear, glabrous, evergreen, and leathery leaves are a superb grey-green colour.
Dianthus 'Pop Star' is a border plant, suitable for dry embankments and rockeries. It is also ideal as a wall cover. It can be accompanied by other flowering cushions such as its sibling D. 'Evening Star', helianthemums, silenes, dwarf artemisia (Artemisia lanata), wall bellflower (Campanula muralis), Caucasian rockcress (Arabis caucasica), moss phlox (Phlox subulata), cooper's ice plant (Delosperma cooperi), Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus), and bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). This plant looks lovely between the stones of a wall or paving, or in containers. It adapts very well to container cultivation in lightweight soil, but will require regular watering and some fertiliser during the season to remain floriferous.

Planting and care
Plant Dianthus 'Pop Star' in ordinary, permeable and humiferous, rocky, rather calcareous, dry to moist and especially well-drained soil. Gravel-rich soil yields good results. In open ground, this plant is very hardy, withstanding temperatures below -15°C (5°F). It prefers a very sunny exposure. Lightly trim the clump after summer flowering to promote regrowth in September. In rich soil, trim part of the foliage with shears after flowering to maintain a dense habit. Apply a balanced fertiliser to poor soil in March. Divide the clumps every 3 years to rejuvenate those whose base is thinning. Propagate by performing layering or by taking cuttings. Cultivating in pots will require regular watering and some flower fertiliser applications during the season to stimulate flower production.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
