Dianthus 'Doris' 9cm | S251813
Design Inspiration
Dianthus 'Doris' is a charming perennial known for its striking, vibrant pink flowers with frilled edges and a sweet, spicy fragrance. The blooms, held on slender, upright stems, create a bold contrast against the grey-green, slender foliage, adding both colour and texture to the garden. Flowering from late spring to early summer, 'Doris' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, or containers. This variety is drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators, bringing both beauty and fragrance to sunny garden spaces. A delightful addition to any garden, Dianthus 'Doris' offers long-lasting blooms with minimal care.
