The detail
Dianthus, commonly known as Garden Pinks, are cherished for their finely fringed blooms and tidy, cushion-forming habit. These floriferous, compact varieties produce masses of vibrant flowers from late spring through summer, in shades ranging from soft pinks and crisp whites to deep purples, scarlets and bicoloured picotees. Typically growing 20–25 cm tall and wide, they form dense, evergreen mounds of blue-green foliage that provide structure even when not in bloom—ideal for edging, containers and layered planting schemes.
Our plants are professionally grown in high-quality peat-free compost and freshly delivered directly from our UK nursery in Yorkshire, in plastic-free, giftable packaging. Supplied as large, well-established 2-litre / 17cm pot-grown plants, they offer a strong start with dense root systems, compact growth and healthy foliage, ready to establish quickly and produce abundant, fragrant blooms throughout the flowering season.
