Dianthus ‘Pink Kisses’

Dianthus are a traditional cottage garden favourite, much loved for their fragrance and constant supply of flowers throughout the summer months. Dianthus ‘Pink Kisses’ has a neat, compact habit, long flowering period and tremendous scent.

 

The shapely blooms contrast nicely with the evergreen foliage making an eye-catching display. An incredibly prolific bloomer, this compact pink is great for pots and sunny borders, but it will also work well in an alpine bed or rockery. The lightly scented flowers are initially quite rich in colour, but as they age, the outer edge of each petal fades to a softer pink (almost blush), and this creates a distinctive two-tone effect. This little gem thrives in a sunny spot, and if you keep on deadheading, it will continue sending up more and more flowers.

 

Delivered in flower, they are perfect for instant colour in your pots or baskets. After the display has finished plant dianthus into your garden where they will go on to flower the following year. Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and deadhead to prolong flowering.

 

The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
