Dianthus ‘Mendlesham Frilly’ at Digging Dog
Garden Pinks
The subtleties of the Dianthus we’ve selected will take you back to Roman times, when this plant was regarded as divine, ‘Jove’s Flower’. Throughout history, clove-scented Dianthus have been cultivated for their fragrance and essential oils. Easy to grow and vigorous in well drained soil, Dianthus, with neat mounds of linear blue, green or gray-green foliage, are an ageless addition to any garden, especially suited to timeworn habitats such as the rockery, walls or stone pathways. Dianthus ‘Mendlesham Frilly’
Aptly named, ‘Frilly’s semidouble flowers are just that, bright pink with fringed
petals and a dainty look. Sue and Peter Russell of Mills Farm Plants in England bred this cultivar as one of their highly successful ‘Mendlesham Series’, a group of Dianthus selected for neat, compact form, demure appearance, intense fragrance, and repeat bloom.
Blooms June–September. Size: 9" high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 5. Dianthus Mendlesham Frilly (p-0739) Each $6.00
