Dianthus armeria / Deptford Pink
** Approx 100 seeds**
Hardy annual or short-lived perennial
Deptford Pinks are an increasingly rare British wildflower. They have attractive bright pink speckled flowers from July into autumn, growing as tall slender plants. Plants grow to a height of 40-60cm and are good for wilder and informal parts of the garden. They look great grown alongside Briza media and other wildflowers.
Deptford Pinks grow best in a sunny position in basic, free draining soil. They are very hardy plants, growing well in most areas of the UK. They will self-seed in the right conditions.
Sow the seeds directly into cultivated soil in the autumn. Or sow indoors in spring in a tray of compost, keep at room temperature and germination is erratic and takes 1-6 weeks. Sow early for first year flowers. Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
