Just a little play on words - the Dianthus are relatives to carnation and are an early spring flower. This one was quite spectacular in color and markings.
Kathy, by checking-out this link, I've read that Dianthus leaves are often strongly glaucous grey-green to blue-green.
Could be that the grower has provided it with special manure (☺), not only changing the leaves to lush green ones, but giving the flower this deep and wonderful tones as well.
Very special!
