Dianthus Pink Kisses - Garden Pink (14cm Pot)

Pink Kisses is an incredibly prolific bloomer, this compact pink is great for pots and sunny borders, but it will also work well in an alpine bed or rockery. The lightly scented flowers are initially quite rich in colour, but as they age, the outer edge of each petal fades to a softer pink (almost blush), and this creates a distinctive two-tone effect. This little gem thrives in a sunny spot, and if you keep on dead-heading, it will continue sending up more and more flowers. Delivered in flower they are perfect for instant colour in your pots or baskets. After the display has finished plant them into your garden where they will go on to flower the following year. This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
