Dianthus ‘Rebekah’

Common Name:
Rebekah Pinks

Description:
Dianthus ‘Rebekah’ is a beautifully refined and fragrant perennial known for its soft pink blooms with a delicate crimson eye and finely fringed petals. This compact, clump-forming variety produces masses of long-lasting flowers from late spring through to early autumn, creating a continuous display of cottage charm. Its neat blue-grey foliage forms a dense, rounded mound that provides structure and contrast even when not in bloom. Suited perfectly to Melbourne’s climate, ‘Rebekah’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is tolerant of dry periods once established. It’s a favourite for borders, pots, rockeries, and formal edging, and the sweet clove-like scent of its blooms makes it a lovely addition to paths and patios. Regular deadheading will encourage repeat flowering throughout the warmer months. Low-maintenance and reliable, it adds gentle colour and fragrance to any garden space.
