Dianthus Neon Star
Availability: In stock
Renowned for its exceptional repeat flowering and long-lasting colour, Dianthus ‘Neon Star’ is a standout performer in any sunny garden. This compact, evergreen perennial forms a neat cushion of slender, blue-grey foliage that provides attractive structure throughout the year. The finely fringed, single flowers glow in brilliant cerise-pink tones from late spring into summer, creating an eye-catching carpet of colour that instantly energises borders, containers, and gravel gardens alike.
Hardy and easy to grow, Dianthus ‘Neon Star’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, particularly in sandy or gravelly conditions. Maintenance requirements are low; simply deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering and lightly trim after the main flush to keep plants tidy and compact. It pairs wonderfully with low-growing Geranium for extended seasonal interest, Salvia for vertical contrast, or silver-foliaged plants such as Artemisia to enhance its tones. Bright, resilient, and wonderfully free-flowering, this is an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting colour with minimal effort.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
