Description
The Carthusian pink is a species with small but vivid pink – magenta flowers. It will grow up to 60 cm with branched, slender stems holding clusters of slightly fragrant flowers, throughout the summer.
In the garden it looks great, same like in the wild habitat, in combination with other summer flowering perennials, and also with fine textured grasses, providing a splash of colour. The combination with Ruta graveolens in my garden was quite effective as well.
With the modern trend of minimalist planting, there is an increased interest in this type of Dianthus because of their elegant habit, simplicity and see-through qualities.
It was named after the Carthusian order of monks, founded in 1084 near Grenoble, in which each monk had his own small garden.
Germination: warm germinator; easy, like most Dianthus. The mother-plant it was grown from wild collected seeds.
