Dianthus Mojito ('WP15 PIE41') (PBR)
garden pinks
Did you know the forerunner to the Mojito cocktail was called El Draque? (named after Sir Francis Drake who visited Havana in 1586). This Cuban-inspired pink has a cool white flower with lightly fringed edges and yellow-green centres, that resembles a slice of lime and is served from May to August on hot sunny days and some in between!
