Description
Tall stems with feathered flowers ranging from white to red that dance in the summers breeze.
These have to be on of the best flowers in the dianthus range. Each pot we sell has three young plants in it to produce a multitoned cluster. Ideally grown in free draining soils from borders to alpine rock gardens its a delight to see with the flowers dancing in the wind.

I have bought Alpines from D’arcy & Everest usually at various shows, recently i have put a number of orders in via their on-line shop. I have been very pleased with the plants picked for me. I have & will be using their on-line shop again. Cheers Steve Sinnott.

Got a few plants in the pot. Different coloured forms in there. Very good of the nursery to pot up a range of this dianthus so have different coloured flowers.
