I bought a 7cm pot of this Dianthus at the same time that I bought the White Delphinium and today I have prepared a large container which I intend to plant up with all white flowers.

Dianthus will bloom from June to October producing pretty foliage and ruffled flower heads which exude a subtly spicy and instantly recognisable aroma. What’s more, Dianthus’ are compact in habit with a mature height of just 40cm, which makes them the perfect ornamental fragrant perennials for patio pots.
