Dianthus at B&Q
« on: May 28, 2011, 09:12:00 PM »
I was in B&Q today. The have an excellent selection of Dianthus in 1L pots. They arent the little alpine types but they would look well on a rockery. I only had enough cash with me for one so I bought Dainty Dame which is white with a red eye. Al had a fabulous scent and masses of cuttings material.

There speaks the incipient nurseryman. "Masses of cutting material." ;D

Here's "Dainty Dame" for you Mark.
I brought the original plant (this is a 6 or 7 year old cutting) from Wisley in 1993 !  :D ;)
