Description
Dianthus 'Munot' is a sweet william that displays a long and pleasantly scented summer flowering from June to September. Its double flowers have carmine red laciniate petals. It is distinguished by its pronounced fragrance. Particularly suitable for pot cultivation due to its small size and floribundity, it is also an excellent perennial for sunny borders, where it forms persistent cushions of beautiful grey-blue even in winter.
Dianthus 'Munot' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is one of the many cultivars resulting from the cross-breeding of D. plumarius and D. caryophyllus. D. plumarius is a European perennial that is the main ancestor of various groups of sweet williams, both old-fashioned and modern. D. caryophyllus is Mediterranean and has passed on to its descendants its wonderful clove fragrance and its good tolerance to limestone and dry soils. The growth of this sweet william is quite rapid. Its adult size will not exceed 25cm (10in) in height with a spread of 30cm (12in) or more. This sweet william forms a dense tuft. From June to September, 4 to 5cm (2in) wide double round flowers with laciniate petals emerge, carried at the end of short, often branched stems. Its linear, glabrous, pointed, evergreen, and leathery leaves are a superb grey-blue.
Dianthus 'Munot' is a very attractive plant for patios or balconies. It is hardy to at least -15°C (5°F). It is undemanding in terms of water, but is sun-loving. It will thrive in well-drained borders, embankments, and rockeries. Its beautiful fragrant flowers bring undeniable charm to even the humblest decor. For example, it can be placed in front of other white, pink, or bicoloured carnations ('Devon Dove', 'Cranmere Pool', 'Devon Cream', 'Letitia Wyatt', 'Whatfield Gem'), or to accompany the blue bells of campanulas, the lavender-blue mosses of catmints, small lavenders, or flowering cushions such as helianthemums, silenes, wall bellflowers, Caucasian rockcress, Phlox subulata, Erigeron karvinskianus, and Geranium sanguineum. To evoke gardens of the past, a small border of these delightful sweet williams can be planted at the base of peony clumps and old roses. This plant forms a lovely display between the stones of a wall or paving, in a trough or in a container.

Planting and care
Plant in ordinary, dry, light and permeable, humiferous or stony soil that is preferably calcareous. It prefers moist but well-drained soil. Soil rich in gravel gives good results. In open ground, this plant is quite hardy, resistant to -15°C (5°F). It prefers a very sunny exposure.
Prune some of the foliage with shears after flowering to maintain a dense habit.
In poor soil, apply a balanced fertiliser in March.
Divide the clumps every 3 years to rejuvenate plants with bare bases. Alternatively, it is easily propagated by layering or 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.
