Dianthus Tickled Pink (‘Devon PP 11’) (Scent First Series) (PBR) | 9cm Pot

An evergreen perennial scented carnation with double pink flowers. Position: full sun Soil: rich but well-drained, alkaline to neutral Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to August Hardiness: fully hardy If dead-headed regularly, this border pink will flower prolifically flowering throughout the summer. The flowers are a bright shade of pink and they have a delicious clove-like scent, so try to plant them near a path. Garden care: Dianthus should be trimmed back lightly after flowering to promote new basal growth. Prune more closely in spring, as new shoots emerge to maintain a tidy shape. To maintain healthy growth, it is important to make sure the plants are protected from excessive winter wet.
