Dianthus (Allwoodii Group) 'Diantica Cremarena'
pot pink
A scented ‘pink’ that loves to show off! The flowers are mostly semi-double in nature, prolific (if deadheaded), and convoluted with vibrant raspberry ripple markings. Dianthus ’Cremarena’ carries a light fragrance, and the mild winter persistent grey-green foliage is noteworthy as it contrasts well with so many other green plants.
A beautiful plant for the front of borders, rock gardens and patio pots, the name Dianthus comes from the Greek words dios meaning divine and anthos meaning flower.
