From the darkest ruby to a metallic mahogany, the fragrant blooms of Dianthus barbatus 'Sooty' make for the most unique garden flowers. Multiple, densely packed heads of individual flowers make for a fabulous cut flower that lasts well in the vase. Dianthus was named by the Greek botanist, Theophrastus meaning 'God's flower'. Dianthus barbatus nigrescens group, simply referred to as 'Sooty' was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Well worth a try in the garden. Well drained friable soil in full sun with adequate moisture will have 'Sooty' thriving. Approx. 30-40cm high.

Native to the Balkans and Turkey, Dianthus cruentus thrives in poor, well drained soil in full sun. Grass like foliage supports the deep blood-red flowers which are held high on thin wiry stems. We have this 'blood carnation' in our gravel garden but it would be equally striking planted amongst ornamental grasses on wild meadow-like gardens. 60cm high x 20cm wide.

We always admired Isoplexis canariensis but haven't had the joy of successfully growing it in Gloucester. However due to the hybridization of Isoplexis and Digitalis we now enjoy the upright spires of flowers in mid Spring onwards. 'Firecracker' is our favourite, with a mix of burnt orange, apricot and gold. 60cm high x 50cm wide. Frost hardy. Needs regular summer watering.

We had never really thought too much about Dyckia previously. That was, ntil we visited the Melbourne Botanic Gardens where Dyckia 'Red Star' was used in both succulent gardens and amongst perennial plantings. Not only do they have striking foliage but the dusky orange flowers are impressive as well. Dyckias are xerographic and survive long periods without water by going dormant. These plants are tough, handling freezing temperatures, drought and high heat. We are very pleased to offer Dyckia 'Red Star' as our first Dyckia with hopefully many more to come.
