The detail
Dianthus Coconut Sundae is a charming cottage pinks variety producing delightful, semi-double flowers in white with a rich raspberry-pink centre. Renowned for their clove-like fragrance, these compact, mound-forming perennials are a classic choice for borders, rockeries, path edging and containers. Flowering generously throughout summer, Coconut Sundae brings colour, scent and pollinator interest to any sunny spot in the garden.
