There may be heightened interest in the Royal Family’s charity gardens at RHS Chelsea this year, but there is also an exclusive from Perennial Royalty at Lovania Nurseries: Dianthus Cherry Burst.
Dianthus Cherry Burst
Its unique grey-green foliage adds an extra silvery leaf shimmer to its flower impact. Sweet-scented single flowers on shorter 15cm stems feature maroon centres encircled by and blended with a lighter pink border.

It has chocolatey buds, opening into first blooms and then continuing to flower repeatedly from May to September. British-bred by Whetman Plants International, full hardy and compact, this long-flowering option offers a burst of cherry-red for borders, patios and beds. Dianthus Cherry Burst will be at RHS Chelsea this May and is expected to provoke a high level of consumer interest for Summer sales in 2019 – available exclusively from Lovania Nurseries in 1 litre pots from the end of May 2019.
Dianthus Aztec Star
Dianthus Aztec Star has light magenta flowers with striking contrast at their centres with a dark magenta star-shaped eye.

A hint of clove in its fragrance, shimmering grey foliage and repeatedly flowering from May to September, this introduction is also available exclusively from Lovania Nurseries for garden retail sales from the end of May 2019.
Dianthus Blushing Star
Completing this triumvirate of Dianthus this Spring, Dianthus Blushing Star offers an airier, lighter pink blush flower, turning ultimately to white but with each single flower punctuated by a dark magenta star shaped centre.
