Dianthus ‘Bling Bling’ is a reliable and easy to grow border perennial, producing primrose yellow blooms that are striped with irregular red markings. These charming flowers bloom above a neat, spreading mount of grey-green foliage that remains evergreen.
With regular deadheading these flowers can bloom from July until September making them perfect for a cut flower garden or a sustained summer border display.
Fully hardy in all of the UK, this perennial can be left outside through the toughest of winters with no frost protection. Look for a position of full sun and plant into well drained, neutral or alkaline soil. Watch for slugs or aphids and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
