Dianthus
'Vivid Bright Light'
garden pinks
Dianthus 'Vivid Bright Light' certainly lives up to its name, producing masses of clear, vivid pink flowers that bring a cheerful lift to borders, pots and mixed containers. These garden pinks are repeat flowering, offering a long display of fragrant blooms from spring into autumn, which is very considerate behaviour from such a compact plant. Reaching around 20cm high and 25cm wide, Dianthus 'Vivid Bright Light' forms a neat, floriferous mound that slips easily into sunny spots, whether gathered at the front of a perennial border or brightening a balcony planter.
After extensive garden trials, Dianthus 'Vivid Bright Light' has proved itself a particularly strong performer, flowering freely and keeping its composure through the season. Plant Dianthus 'Vivid Bright Light' in full sun, in alkaline, well-drained soil, and it will reward you with colour, scent and very little fuss. Hardy to around -25°C, it is as dependable as it is pretty, which is not always the case with plants that look this joyful. Use Dianthus 'Vivid Bright Light' for mass planting, container displays or edging, where its bright flowers can make the whole scheme feel freshly polished.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
