Dianthus Pink Kisses ('Kledg12163') (PBR)
garden pinks / dianthus
An incredibly prolific bloomer, this compact pink is great for pots and sunny borders, but it will also work well in an alpine bed or rockery. The lightly scented flowers are initially quite rich in colour, but as they age, the outer edge of each petal fades to a softer pink (almost blush), and this creates a distinctive two-tone effect.
This little gem thrives in a sunny spot, and if you keep on deadheading, Dianthus 'Pink Kisses' will repeat bloom.
Delivered in flower, they are perfect for instant colour in your pots or baskets. After the display has finished, plant dianthus into your garden where they will go on to flower the following year.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
