Sue's Notes about Dianthus cruentus (Blood pink)

This plant shone out of Cleve West's Chelsea show garden in 2011. I bought a few plants, collected the seed and we've had it in our stock list ever since. It can be short lived in wet years but produces seed, so collect it and sow in spring.

 
Sorry, this plant is out of stock
