Using Dianthus as a perennial border

The foundation shrubs can be seen in attached photo. Would like to use Dianthus as a border with walkway. We have deer.
I want a border with little maintenance, that will last 10 years or more – Is Dianthus a good choice?

Though Dianthus is a pretty perennial, I would not consider it low maintenance.

I would suggest a flowering shrub, suitable to your growing zone.
