Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A great Dianthus which was like pulling teeth to get Sue to part with a couple. Makes a fine blue mat of foliage which is covered in eyes-a-popping single magenta pink flowers which have an intoxicating fragrance. First class rockery plant - killer with that black quarry rock.
