  A dwarf form of the popular garden pink, which forms neat hummocks of blue-grey foliage. These are studded with sprays of small, single flowers in brightest magenta for many weeks. Planted in a pot, or on a sunny terrace near to seating areas, their fragrant smell will perfume the air. Their tidy habit and evergreen foliage make this form a good subject for edging paths or steps.
  
  
• Garden care: Dianthus should be trimmed back lightly after flowering to promote new basal growth. Prune more closely in spring, as new shoots appear, to maintain tidy shape.
