Dianthus ‘Diamond Pink' is smothered in pale-pink flowers, slightly darker than ‘Diamond Light Pink’ and formed on branching, leafy stems throughout the summer.
This gently trailing, frost hardy perennial can be used to cascade over the edges of a wall, a window box or simply to add colour to a pastel-coloured seasonal bedding scheme.

Protect newly planted Diascia from overnight frosts (if still present) in the early stages of establishment. Once established divide congested plants in early spring or late summer. Protect young plants from slugs and snails. Trim after flowering. Diascia prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet wet winters.
To protect plants that are susceptible to rot in wet winter conditions, ensure they are planted in well-draining soil and consider adding grit or sand to the surrounding planting area to improve drainage. Raise beds or plant in containers if necessary, and avoid spots where water collects. If wet conditions are unavoidable, consider using a cloche or cold frame to shield the plants from excessive moisture.
