  A modern pink that forms loose mounds of glaucous, evergreen foliage and produces double, peach-apricot-coloured flowers throughout the summer, with a strong clove scent. A cottage-garden favourite, this is a robust plant with a long flowering period and wonderful scent of cloves.  It is best planted towards the front of a perennial border or rock garden, or in a pot, where you can enjoy its fragrance.
  
  
• Garden care:  Incorporate lots of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and deadhead to prolong flowering.
