Dianthus have long been a firm favourite, and an immediately recognisable choice for generations of gardeners. Also known as Pinks, according to tradition, they sprang up from the tears Mary shed as she followed her son to Calvary. Dianthus became the official symbol of Mothers Day, embodying maternal, undying love, Dianthus have everything, beauty, durability and sensual heady perfume. Neat domes of weed-suppressing foliage are covered with pretty, scented blooms from late spring to autumn.Native to Eurasia, Dianthus have been known since ancient times, the name derived from the Greek Dios-anthus, meaning Flower of the Gods. You find Dianthus growing naturally around in the Mediterranean. 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.The low, creeping, evergreen foliage creates wonderful weed-suppressing groundcover and is slug, deer and rabbit resistant; while the blooms are much loved by our pollinating friends, the bees and butterflies. Dianthus are drought tolerant and unfussy on soil conditions, happily flourishing in sun or part shade. Dianthus are fully hardy perennials so can be left overwinter to be enjoyed during the following summers.
