Dianthus Cherry Daiquiri ='Wp15 Pie42'

Description: Dianthus Cherry Daiquiri is a compact, evergreen hardy perennial delivering vibrant colour and delightful fragrance throughout the summer months. Its abundant deep cherry-pink flowers feature a striking darker eye and sit proudly above attractive blue-green foliage in neat, mound-forming growth. This reliable cultivar thrives in South England gardens, tolerating our chalky soils and cool springs with ease. The sweetly scented blooms attract bees and butterflies, making it invaluable for pollinator-friendly planting schemes. Ideal for sunny borders, rockeries, cottage garden settings, and container displays, Cherry Daiquiri flowers from late spring through summer and often repeats blooming if spent flowers are deadheaded regularly. Extremely low maintenance once established, it requires minimal intervention beyond occasional deadheading and a light tidy after flowering to maintain its compact shape. Hardy to well below South England winter temperatures, it will return reliably year after year, providing consistent garden performance with minimal fuss.
