Dianthus deltoides

Dwarf Garden Pink with masses of red, pink and white flowers and neat compact foliage

Established plants in two-litre containers

Description

Dianthus deltoides, or Dwarf Garden Pinks, as commonly known, is a low-growing evergreen plant, with neat cushions of small-leaved foliage, followed by masses of small flowers in strong patterns of red, white and pink. The flowers are borne on strong stems and have frilled edges to the petals, and make the entire plant burst into life when they open in mid summer. It flowers for a long time over summer, which, combined with its compact form, makes it ideal for summer containers, rock gardens or front of border spots that get lots of sun.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall in peat-free compost and are supplied in two-litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of around 15cm (6 or 7 inches) with similar spread.

Growing Advice

Garden pinks are popular for a reason – they are charming, easy to grow plants that ask only for sun and a spot where they can really show off. Like many alpines they do best and will come back most strongly when planted in spots with good drainage and are absolutely fine in spots with poor soil. They can be trimmed all over when most of the flowers are finished later in summer, which will keep the plant compact and healthy.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
