Description
Dianthus plumarius 'Moulin Rouge' is a recently obtained variety of carnation with a stunning tricoloured flowering, displaying different shades of red, magenta-pink, and pale-pink. Each double flower is maculated with red towards the centre. They appear to be tattooed with regular concentric circles. This spectacular flowering is also fragrant, and it blooms from May to July above a slightly loose but beautiful bluish-green evergreen cushion. It's an easy plant that will make a big impact in a flower bed or in a pot on a balcony or patio. Give it well-drained soil, sun and light, and it won't disappoint you!
Dianthus plumarius 'Moulin Rouge' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. The Royal Horticultural Society awarded this cultivar for its ornamental qualities and performance in the garden. D. plumarius is a European perennial that is the main ancestor of the various groups of old-fashioned and modern carnations and pinks. The growth of this carnation is quite fast. Its adult size will not exceed 30cm (12in) in height with a spread of 40cm (16in), or even more. This carnation forms a low tuft. From May-June to August, sometimes until September, it produces 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) wide double flowers with toothed petals on the edge. Each light pink to pinkish-white petal is finely edged with bright pink to purplish-pink, and maculated with reddish-pink at the base. The flowers are carried by flexible stems adorned with several buds. Its linear, glabrous, pointed, evergreen and leathery leaves are a superb bluish-green.
'Moulin Rouge' Dianthus is a radiant and pleasantly fragrant border plant, suitable for embankments and dry rockeries. Its unique and lively flowers bring dynamism to the most modest decor, in the garden or on a patio. It can accompany Caucasian scabious, bellflowers, Anemone coronaria, and Madonna lilies, or other flowering cushions such as Iberis, silenes, wall bellflowers, Caucasian rock cress, Phlox subulata, Erigeron karvinskianus, and Geranium sanguineum. To evoke the gardens of old, a small border of these delightful carnations can be planted at the foot of clusters of white, pink or red peonies and old roses. This plant looks lovely between the stones of a wall or paving, in a trough or in a planter. It adapts very well to container gardening, in light soil. It is also ideal in bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant in ordinary, permeable and humus-bearing, stony, rather calcareous, well-drained soil. Ensure it is fairly moist to encourage flowering. Gravel-rich soil yields good results. In the ground, this plant is quite hardy, withstanding temperatures down to -15°C (5°F). It prefers a very sunny exposure. Prune the clump lightly after summer flowering to promote regrowth in September. In rich soil, trim part of the foliage with shears after flowering to maintain a dense habit. Apply a balanced fertiliser to poor soil in March. Divide the clumps every 3 years to rejuvenate those whose base is thinning. Propagate through layering or by taking cuttings.

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.
