A new one on me

Dianthus carthusianorum is a recently discovered gem. Very much like the common dianthus we see in numerous gardens but these stems reach up to 60 cm and are topped off with delightful deep pink flowers.

I've planted it along with Imperata cylindric, Echinacea and Pennisetum 'Red Buttons' in my own small front forecourt to see how it gets along and depending on the results, I would very much like to use it in other client's gardens, possibly interplanted amongst ornamental grasses. I'll update you all next year.
