Dianthus

Dianthus is one of our favorite spring flowers. It catches your eye with its pleasant fragrance and sturdy stems that are perfect for cutting into vases. If you are looking for really long stems, we have found that autumn planting in a polytunnel works best for cultivation for cutting. Plants from spring sowings tend to be a bit shorter, but they still look wonderful in a spring garden. In addition to varieties suitable for bouquets, there are also types that bring a relaxed, wild meadow vibe to your flower beds. These low-maintenance perennials love sunny spots and well-drained soil, so they thrive even in gravel plantings or drier corners. You can easily grow most of them yourself; just check how to sow tiny seeds and care for young plants.
