Product Description

A brilliant evergreen perennial that forms a mat of silvery tinged green foliage topped with clusters of showy cerise flowers with deep crimson markings at the heart and finely frayed edges. Reaching only 10cm 'maiden pinks' are perfect for a sunny rockery, bed or border providing weed suppressing ground cover all year round with the flowers lasting from June until September. The Royal Horticultural Society has given Dianthus deltoides the Award of Garden Merit for its reliable performance, stability of colour and form and good resistance to pests and diseases. Supplied as UK-grown 5cm module plants.

Growing at a glance…

Water freely during the growing season and make sure to dead-head regularly to prolong flowering. Plant in a sunny position in well worked soil. Rake fertiliser in to the soil surface prior to planting. To plant them in the border, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire root ball. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. To plant them within a wall, find an opening and pack it halfway with soil. Then, take the module and pop it in the hole, making sure it's sturdy by packing soil around it. Water well.
