Dianthus (Pinks) 'Anders Melody'

We are delighted to be offering a range of pinks from the famous Allwoods nursery ... this specialist family run nursery is run by Liz's brother David and his wife Emma. As well growing as old favourites, they are constantly introducing new varieties so like Vernon’s they bring the best of the old and the new. Try some this coming spring in your garden and enjoy their beauty and wonderful aroma! Anders Melody is a laced single variety with crimson eye and fine crimson edge. Laced pinks were incredibly popular in Victorian times when their bright, cheerful flowers would brighten up many a display. Each flowerhead has intricate markings and lacing and along with their wonderful clove scent they are real beauties to enjoy in the garden. Also ideal for cut flowers to enjoy indoors in vases.

Pot up plugs into general purpose compost. Once the roots show through the base of the pot, plant out in their final position - they prefer a sunny spot. Feed all through the summer months. Regular deadheading recommended. In autumn tidy and trim ready for new spring growth.
Feed and water regularly until dianthus plants are fully established. Deadhead faded dianthus flowers frequently to encourage more blooms to be produced.
