Dianthus
Garden Pinks
The subtleties of the Dianthus we’ve selected will take you back to Roman times, when this plant was regarded as divine, “Jove’s Flower.”Throughout history, clove-scented Dianthus have been cultivated for their fragrance and essential oils. Easy to grow and steadfast in well-drained soil, Dianthus, with neat mounds of linear blue, green or gray-green foliage, are an ageless addition to any garden, especially suited to seasoned habitats such as the rockery, walls or stone pathways.
Making its garden debut in the 1700s, ‘Inchmery’ is still the epitome of delicacy today. The long linear buds appear in late spring and are heightened by a deep maroon stripe around each base. Poised atop bluish green tumps, fragrant shell-pink double blossoms harmonize with Lavandula ‘England’ and Helianthemum ‘Wisley Primrose’.
