Dianthus deltoides 'Arctic Fire'

An adorably pretty posy of white starry flowers set with a deep pink eye, Dianthus deltoides ‘Arctic Fire’ is a delightfully informal choice for creeping over paving, rockeries and gravel gardens, running along borders edges or tumbling from a patio pot.  It forms low mats of evergreen foliage that provide pleasingly tidy and low-maintenance, weed-suppressing groundcover. In May, June and July these soft green cushions become studded with masses of flowers that form a crisp contrast to the green foliage. This easy-care, long-flowering perennial is a superb performer in hot, dry sunny sites with poor soil. It also makes a rewarding, drought-tolerant choice for container growing. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 15-20cm (6-8in).
