Dianthus plumarius ‘Haytor White’ is a classic evergreen perennial with grey-green foliage and frilly, fragrant white flowers.
Its flowers are instantly recognizable – bearing ten white petals with fringed edges.
The leaves are grey-green, simple and silky soft, forming a dense groundcover.
This plant can live in many parts of the garden – in light shade, in the sun, in dry or fresh soil.
But it does flourish especially in places where others cannot – high sun, dry soil.
Our plants have been grown outside so they are well adapted to the temperate climate and can live outside without any problem.
The Tale:
This one is an English linguistic gem!
For the word ‘pink’ as we known it today – describing a soft red, a pastel red, a mix of red and white (whichever you prefer) – may have actually referred to the classic Dianthus plumarius flower first, and was only after used to designate the color. The origin of the word ‘pink’ is uncertain, but this theory is my personal favorite because it means that tlants define the world around us.
And that is good.
This variety comes from a hybridization of Dianthus plumarius and Dianthus caryophyllus.
Dianthus plumarius is a European perennial, known as the principal ancestor of many varieties of carnation, both old and new.
Dianthus caryophyllus is a Mediterranean perennial, remarkable for its distinctive sweet fragrance, reminiscent of cloves I’d say.
This makes ‘Hayton White’ resilient, drought tolerant, fragrant and magnificent. What more can one ask for?
It is known to be somewhat invasive in many states in the United States – so do NOT travel state-side with your Dianthus!
