Dianthus ‘Pink Kisses’ is a small semi-evergreen clump forming perennial with a compact and bushy habit.
It bears many pretty pink flowers throughout spring and summer making it ideal for beds, borders, containers, alpine rockeries or cottage gardens.
The petals are a deeper pink in the centre and a lighter pink on the outer edges. It has narrow blue-green leaves which are mostly lost through winter, particularly in colder areas, but fresh growth will come again in springtime. It is great for beds, borders, containers and cottage gardens.
Plant in well drained compost or soil and feed with a liquid fertiliser. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
