How to Grow
Pinks - Doris (Clove Scented)
- Plug Plants
- Pot up plug plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions for transplanting into borders and containers later on.
- When all risk of frost has passed, and plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days.
- Plant Pinks in borders and containers in any well drained soil in full sun.
- Aftercare
- Feed and water regularly until plants are fully established.
- Weed between plants regularly.
- Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced throughout the summer.
