Dianthus ‘Memories’

Common Name:
Dianthus ‘Memories’

Description:
Dianthus ‘Memories’ is a refined and elegant perennial carnation bred for its classic white blooms and strong clove-like fragrance. This variety was developed as a tribute to Alzheimer’s research, and its pure, snow-white flowers make it a meaningful and beautiful addition to any garden. Blooming prolifically from late spring through to autumn, ‘Memories’ produces double flowers with delicately fringed petals, held above neat, blue-green foliage. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate when planted in a sunny position with well-drained soil and benefits from regular deadheading to encourage repeat flowering. Ideal for cottage gardens, borders, or fragrant plantings near walkways or entrances, it also performs exceptionally well in pots and is a reliable cut flower thanks to its upright stems and long-lasting blooms.
