Dianthus ‘Memories’

A compact, highly fragrant carnation producing pure white, fully double flowers above evergreen, silver foliage through summer. Thrives in full sun and well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil; ideal for the front of borders, cottage-style plantings, rock gardens and containers, and also valued for long-lasting cut flowers. Eventual size around 30cm x 30cm.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
