Description
Dianthus plumarius 'Ipswich Pinks Mixed' is a very attractive collection that displays simple, fringed, solid or two-toned blooms in harmonious shades of white, pink and red. This fast-growing, robust perennial is intensely fragrant, ideal for rock gardens, growing over low retaining walls or in pots. It thrives in full sun and tolerates dry soil and limestone.
Feathered Pink 'Ipswich Pinks Mixed' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is selected from Dianthus caryophyllus, a Mediterranean species with a distinctive clove-like scent and D. plumarius, a European perennial that has long been a favourite in cottage gardens, hence the names Garden Pink or Cottage Pink. 'Ipswich Pinks Mixed' is a superb variety, bred by Thomson & Morgan. It produces fast-growing, vigorous plants that reach a mature height of 25 cm for a spread of 50-60 cm, forming dense, low-growing clumps. The evergreen bluish to grey-green leaves are linear. From May to June-July, bouquets of very fragrant blooms with fringed petals appear on short stems. They are solid or bicoloured, displaying various harmonious shades of pink, red or white depending on the plant.
Dianthus plumarius 'Ipswich Pinks Mixed' is ideal for edging, dry slopes and rock gardens, alongside other low-growing perennials such as Helianthemums, Artemisia lanata, bellflowers, rock cress, Phlox subulata, Delosperma cooperi, Erigeron karvinskianus or Geranium sanguineum. Grow along passageways such as garden paths or near an entrance to fully enjoy its sweetly scented blooms! It is also suited for container gardens, hanging baskets or pots on the patio or balcony. Make sure to provide the plants with light soil, perfect drainage and a little fertilizer.

Planting and care
Sow from February to July in good quality, well-drained sowing mix or compost, barely covering the seeds. Place in a propagator or polythene bag and keep in a light room at a temperature of 18-20°C until germination (generally 14 to 30 days). Make sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots and harden them off gradually before planting them out in a sunny location, in well-drained soil. Make sure to leave about 30 cm between each plant.
Dianthus plumerius grow in ordinary soil that is loose, rich in humus and very well drained. It gives good results in limestone and stony soils that are fairly moist to dry. It is a very drought resistant, sun-loving plant that is hardy down to -15°C. To encourage repeat flowering in September, cut back the plant slightly after the first rush of blooms. In rich soil, pruning after flowering also helps maintain a tidy, dense habit. In poor soil, it can help to feed with a balanced fertilizer in March. Dianthus plants are rather short-lived. Take cuttings or divide ragged-looking plants every 3 years.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
