Dianthus ‘Pink Eclipse’ will shine brightly in the garden with beautiful floral displays. With a long flowering period from spring and a secondary flowering season in autumn, the garden will be decorated in colour for months on end. The lovely grey-green coloured buds open to reveal large fragrant flowers. The flowers start as a deep pink, which change to shades of lighter pink – providing the garden with an ever-changing wheel of colour. ‘Pink Eclipse’ is a neat, compact perennial that requires little upkeep to keep it looking good. Perfect for low-maintenace solutions, containers to garden plantings.

Perfect for borders, edging, cottage-style plantings, containers, and rockeries, this variety brings both colour and fragrance. It also makes an excellent cut flower and attracts butterflies and pollinators to the garden.
