Dianthus Mrs Sinkins

Classic highly scented Victorian cottage garden beauty, some say named after the breeders wife back in 1860’s, others say named after the wife of the master of the workhouse at Slough.

According to tradition, pinks sprang up from the tears Mary shed as she followed her son to Calvary. So it became the official symbol of Mothers Day and stands for maternal undying love. They have everything, beauty, durability and these varieties have been specially selected for their sensual heady perfume. Good for cutting, flowering for long periods, slug and rabbit resistant. Attractive to bees and butterflies. Unfussy on soil conditions in sun or part shade. Foliage height 20-30cm (8-12”) spread 30cm (12”). Hardy perennial.
