Clavel del poeta
Dianthus barbatus
Un clásico de los jardines de campo perteneciente a la familia de los claveles (Caryophyllaceae), nativo de las montañas europeas (Pirineos, Cárpatos, Balcanes). NC State Extension describe una planta densa, erguida y redondeada de 1-2 feet de altura y 6-12 inches de ancho, con hojas estrechas en forma de lanza de color gris verdoso a verde azulado, y racimos planos, redondeados y densos de flores fragantes, a menudo bicolores, en tonos que van del blanco al rojo intenso y al morado en primavera. Puede cultivarse como anual, bienal o perenne de vida corta; este registro la trata como la perenne de vida corta que es en toda su zona de resistencia USDA 3-9. Las abejas y las mariposas frecuentan sus racimos florales, y la planta es resistente a ciervos y conejos.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
