Pinks (Dianthus) are traditional cottage garden plants, coming in a range of colours and forms. Short-lived perennials, they make excellent bedding plants, and are perfect for growing in rock gardens, at the front of sunny borders and in containers. Many varieties are scented and they make striking cut flowers.

Dianthus 'Sunflor Faganza' is a dwarf pot carnation, bearing hot-pink, fully double flowers on short stems. Flowers have a good fragrance, making them ideal for using in indoor flower arrangements. Unlike many other varieties, 'Sunflor Faganza' flowers extremely early in the season, from late-March right through to summer.

For best results deadhead Dianthus 'Sunflor Faganza' regularly to prolong flowering. Trim back plants in autumn to promote new growth, and protect from excessive wet conditions in winter. Prune again in spring to maintain a tidy growth habit.
