Dianthus 'Flutterburst'

Dianthus ‘Flutterburst’ is a compact perennial pink suited to Irish gardens, thriving in full sun and very well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils. Its tidy, semi-evergreen foliage makes a neat mound that works brilliantly at the front of sunny borders, in rockery settings, or in containers where drainage is sharp. Avoid heavy or waterlogged ground, especially in winter; incorporate grit if needed to improve drainage. Deadhead spent blooms to keep plants tidy and encourage further display, and lightly shear after flowering to maintain a compact shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
