Fully double soft pink blooms with intriguing crimson flecks and zig-zag edges, make Dianthus ‘Scent First Candy Floss’ such a sweetie. Each fluffy-looking bloom releases a gentle cloud of sweet perfume, which you can also enjoy in your home as they make excellent, long-lasting floral arrangements. Neat compact mounds of evergreen blue-green foliage are perfect for suppressing pesky garden weeds – plus deer, slugs and rabbits tend to leave alone. You will be visited by our friendly pollinators, who will nip by for a feast. The name is derived from the Greek Dios-anthus, meaning Flower of the Gods. One of the oldest flowers in cultivation, dating back to Roman times, early Christians believed the first carnation bloomed when Mary wept for Jesus as he carried his cross. Dianthus can be found growing wild around the Mediterranean. Reaching a height and spread of 30cm, Dianthus ‘Scent First Candy Floss’ is drought tolerant and unfussy on soil conditions, in sun. A hardy perennial which can be left outside over winter with no frost protection required, to be enjoyed during the following summers.
