Dianthus hybrids or Pinks are a frost hardy evergreen perennial with loosely tufted lance shaped, grey green foliage and fringed single or double flowers that are sweetly perfumed.
These are extremely easy plants to grow, being very pretty border flowers that are the epitome of a cottage garden.
As they naturally form a mat, they go very well in borders, rockeries, particularly well as edging to pathways and are always good as part of a mixed display in planters and tubs.
Often available in mixed seed packs, you will get a variety of colours and even shapes to provide contrast and interest wherever you plant them.
