Dianthus ‘Shirley Temple’

Elegant in its simplicity, Dianthus ‘Shirley Temple’ offers wonderfully fragrant single flowers 6cm across that are rose-pink with a serrated margin and a darker pink ring around the centre. Produced over an impressively long season, the scented blooms are attractive to pollinators and, like most pinks, make excellent cut flowers. The clumps of slender, greyish evergreen foliage provide year-round interest. Drought resistant and easy to grow, this hardy carnation from the Cocktail Series is ideal for bringing long-lasting colour to borders, pots and gravel gardens. Height: 35-40cm (14-16in). Spread: 30-35cm (12-14in).
