Dianthus Merry Go Round

Dianthus Merry-Go-Round is a delightful compact Dianthus featuring masses of charming bicolour flowers with rich crimson-red centres surrounded by crisp white fringed petals. The eye-catching blooms create a colourful pinwheel effect, covering the plant from spring through summer and often repeating through the cooler months.

Forming a neat mound of attractive blue-green foliage, this free-flowering variety is perfect for adding long-lasting colour to garden beds, borders, rockeries and containers. The lightly fragrant flowers also attract pollinators and make lovely cut flowers.

Thriving in a sunny position with well-drained soil, Dianthus Merry-Go-Round is easy to grow, drought tolerant once established and rewards with an abundance of cheerful blooms throughout the season.

Dianthus are exceptionally hardy performers, thriving in both garden beds and containers. Also known as Sweet William; these delightful plants are known for their extended flowering season, making them ideal for tubs, cottage gardens, rockeries, mass plantings, and perennial borders. These versatile plants flourish in full sun and well-drained soil. To encourage continuous flowering throughout the warmer months, water regularly during dry spells and remove spent blooms. Beyond their vibrant, long-lasting flowers, Dianthus are also valued for attracting butterflies, bringing colour, life, and gentle movement to any garden space.
