Semi-double, bi-coloured flowers with a delicious perfume in a pretty combination of pale pink and white with a final flourish of dark pink to catch the eye. What more could you want from the deservedly popular Dianthus family? Dianthus ‘Carnelia Pink & Proud’ forms neat mounds of evergreen, grey/green foliage that are topped with masses of flowers from early summer to September. It’s perfect for lining the edges of borders or adding to containers and thrives in well-drained sites such as gravel gardens. Cut the stems and bring them indoors for long-lasting vase arrangements and sweet-smelling bouquets. Height : 20cm (8in). Spread: 25cm (10in).
Growing Information
Pot up plug plants and grow them on in frost free conditions for transplanting into borders and containers later on. When all risk of frost has passed, and plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant Dianthus in beds and borders in fertile, well drained soil in full sun.
