Clouds of delicious clove scent will greet you as the bi-coloured blooms of Dianthus ‘Scent First Raspberry Sundae’, adorn cushions of evergreen foliage from late spring until late summer, and often into the autumn. Excellent as cut blooms for your home where you can enjoy the fragrance indoors. Bees are enticed into your garden to investigate, whilst deer, rabbits and slugs leave alone. A Eurasion native, the name is derived from the Greek Dios-anthus, meaning Flower of the Gods. One of the oldest flowers in cultivation, dating back to Roman times, early Christians believed the first carnation bloomed when Mary wept for Jesus as he carried his cross. Reaching a height and spread of 30cm, Dianthus ‘Scent First Raspberry Sundae’ is drought tolerant and unfussy on soil conditions, keeping the weeds at bay in a sunny position. A hardy perennial which can be left outside over winter with no frost protection required, to be enjoyed during the following summers.
