Dianthus Doris

Combining the best of new strains and classic traditional varieties, Dianthus Doris is a modern pink with strongly clove scented, double, pale pink flowers with darker pink/red marked centres. The silvery-green foliage makes a wonderful background for the mass of pink flowers. These creeping evergreen mats make a great background year-round for neighbouring plants. An essential dianthus.

Make the most to the scent by planting Doris near heavily-used paths or in pots next to the house. This is also a terrific dianthus in a container - try it with Cosmos as a companion.

Great In Your Garden...

Dianthus Doris is easy to grow and very hardy, so it's ideal for beginners, as once established, it is drought tolerant. It is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some or all of its leaves in a cold winter, but new growth will appear again in spring.

Pollinators absolutely love pinks, so expect to see a wider variety of insects that are good for your garden, such as bees and butterflies.

Plants only reach 40cm tall, so it is best used at the front of a border as edging or in a rock garden. It looks great in a pot or in troughs, trailing over the sides.

Pinks make wonderful cut flowers for small vases or as part of a larger arrangement. Doris's blooms and prolific flowering period means there will be plenty to cut and use in vases.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
