Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aptly named, 'Frilly's' semidouble flowers are just that, bright pink with fringed petals and a dainty look. Sue and Peter Russell of Mills Farm Plants in England bred this cultivar as one of their highly successful 'Mendlesham Series', a group of Dianthus selected for neat, compact form, demure appearance, intense fragrance, and repeat bloom. Hardy to zone 5.
