Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This heirloom variety always brings a moment of freshness to the senses with its rich, spicy aroma. Unlike any other "Garden Pink" in cultivation, the large pink blooms are a fully ruffled double. Flowering into the summer, the growth is heavier and more robust than other Dianthus. A great plant for pot or garden, the Duchess came to us from the British National Council for the onservation of Plants & Gardens.
