Dianthus (Allwoodii Group) 'Doris'

pink

Product Image
A popular modern pink with clove-scented, double, pale pink flowers with red centres from early summer through to autumn. The fine, silvery-green foliage makes a lovely frame for the masses of flowers. Old-fashioned by reputation, and short-lived by nature, this is nonetheless a robust plant with a long flowering period that will tolerate a wide range of conditions. It is best planted towards the front of a perennial border or rock garden, or in a pot.

How to care for Dianthus (Allwoodii Group) Doris:

Incorporate lots of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and deadhead to prolong flowering.
