Dianthus Coconut Sundae – Cottage Pinks

Dianthus Coconut Sundae is a charming cottage pinks variety producing delightful, semi-double flowers in white with a rich raspberry-pink centre. Renowned for their clove-like fragrance, these compact, mound-forming perennials are a classic choice for borders, rockeries, path edging and containers. Flowering generously throughout summer, Coconut Sundae brings colour, scent and pollinator interest to any sunny spot in the garden.

Cottage pinks are among the most rewarding and low-maintenance perennials, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Their neat, evergreen foliage provides year-round structure, while the abundant summer blooms make excellent cut flowers for the home.
