Dianthus Coral Reef ('WP07Oldrice') (Scent First Series) (PBR) (pink)

Dianthus Coral Reef (‘WP07Oldrice’) (Scent First Series) (PBR) (pink) was £4.99 now £2.49
Position: full sun Soil: rich but well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to August Flower colour: soft pink often with a darker eye Hardiness: fully hardy Flowering prolifically, this scented, compact cultivar is ideal for pots and containers on a sunny patio, where it will put on a marvellous display over a prolonged period. The coral coloured petals have a near white picotee edge, creating a distinctive two-tone effect. Garden care: Dianthus should be trimmed back lightly after flowering to promote new basal growth. Prune more closely in spring, as new shoots emerge to maintain a tidy shape. To maintain healthy growth, it is important to make sure the plants are protected from excessive winter wet.
