Dianthus 'Sugar Plum'

Pinks (Dianthus) are traditional cottage garden plants, coming in a range of colours and forms. Short-lived perennials, they make excellent bedding plants, and are perfect for growing at the front of sunny borders and in containers. Many varieties are scented and they make fantastic cut flowers.

Dianthus 'Sugar Plum' bears red-pink, frilled flowers with delicate white margins, on strong, tall stems. Flowers have a good spicy fragrance, making them ideal for using in indoor flower arrangements.

For best results deadhead Dianthus 'Sugar Plum' regularly to prolong flowering. Trim back plants in autumn to promote new growth, and protect from excessive wet conditions in winter. Prune again in spring to maintain a tidy growth habit.
