Properties and uses:
The white Dianthus (cottage pink) is a timeless perennial that perfectly embodies the spirit of cottage gardens and English-style flowerbeds, featuring fragrant blooms from May to July.
- Radiant blooms: Its white flowers, with their delicately fringed or serrated edges, catch the light and brighten up sunny areas of the garden.
- Unique fragrance: It releases an intense, sweet, and spicy scent (with notes of clove) that instantly perfumes walkways and terraces.
- Elegant in every season: Its evergreen foliage forms a compact, beautiful blue-green cushion that remains decorative and visually striking even in winter.
- Exceptional hardiness: Highly hardy and drought-tolerant, it thrives in poor, stony, and very sunny soils.
Thanks to its compact habit and evergreen foliage, it is ideal for edging flowerbeds or pathways, but can also be used in rock gardens or as ground cover if planted densely.
Low-maintenance and undemanding, this pink is easy to care for.
Remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming period, and cut back the clump if it loses its compactness or begins to blacken at the base.
