Appearing in abundance throughout the summer, the bicoloured blooms of this low-growing pink provide a long season of interest throughout the summer. Delivered in flower, they will give instant colour to your pots and baskets. When the display finishes you can plant dianthus into alpine beds and rockeries, or use them to edge the front of a sunny border where you will be able to enjoy their spicy perfumed blooms the following year.
Prefers soil enriched with well-rotted manure or garden compost and an application of a balanced fertiliser in spring. Dianthus should be trimmed back lightly after flowering to promote new growth at the base of the plant. Prune more closely in spring, as new shoots emerge to maintain a tidy shape.
