Now you can have the best of both worlds - modern vigour and a fabulous old fashioned perfume! Recent breeding has sought to bring back that fabulous cottage garden fragrance that many Dianthus have lost. The ?Scented Mix? series does just that, giving you a profusion of deeply scented Garden Pinks in a fabulous array of colours.
Ipswich Pinks were made famous by Joseph Sangster, the breeder and proprietor of T&M from 1913-52. They create a solid mass of colour in pinks, reds, bicolours and white, above blue foliage that is close and tightly knit. Ground smothering weed suppressors, they remain evergreen (blue). Floriferous and fragrant, they are welcome cut flowers and a necessity for the cottage garden, border or rock garden, being also suitable for edging or walls. A hardy perennial, they grow to a height of 23cm (9in) and can spread 60-70cm (24-30in). Flowering extends from late spring till the end of summer.
