Garden Pinks

The beloved Garden Pinks are still probably the most popular and well known of the hybrid Dianthus. Many varieties have gained the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit - the highest accolade the Society can give for a plant of outstanding garden performance. Garden Pinks vary in height from 35cm - 45cm, nearly all are wonderfully fragrant and many are suitable for commercial cutting
