Description
Dianthus plumarius 'Doris', also known as 'Doris' pinks, forms a thick and loose cushion of semi-evergreen, rough, bluish-green leaves. This perennial offers an abundant flowering with an intense and sweet fragrance, with light pink fringed corollas with darker centres. This timeless perennial combines strength, an undemanding nature, and delicacy. Ideal for rockeries and walls, in full sun.
'Doris' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a cultivar resulting from the cross-breeding between D. plumarius and D. caryophyllus. D. plumarius is a European perennial that is the main ancestor of different groups of pinks, both old-fashioned and modern. D. caryophyllus is Mediterranean, and it has passed on to its descendants its wonderful clove scent. The growth of this pink is quite rapid. Its adult size will not exceed 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) in height with a spread of 30cm (12in). This pink forms a fairly loose clump. From May to July, and again in September, it displays bouquets of pale-pink flowers marked with purple at the centre. The fragrant flowers bear five fringed petals. They appear at the top of short stems, usually uniflorous. Its linear, glabrous, evergreen, and leathery leaves are a superb greyish-blue.
Dianthus plumarius 'Doris' is perfect in borders, embankments, and dry rockeries. It pairs well with other flowering cushions such as helianthemums, silenes, dwarf artemisia (Artemisia lanata), wall bellflowers, Caucasian rockcress, Phlox subulata, Delosperma cooperi, Erigeron karvinskianus, and bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). This plant looks beautiful between the stones of a wall or paving, or in a container. It adapts very well to pot cultivation, in light soil.

Planting and care
Plant Dianthus plumarius 'Doris' in ordinary, permeable, humus-bearing, stony, dry to moist but well-drained soil, ideally limestone. Soil rich in gravel yields good results. In open ground, this plant withstands temperatures down to -15°C (5°F). It prefers a very sunny exposure. Lightly prune the clump after summer flowering to encourage regrowth in September. In rich soil, trim some of the foliage with shears after flowering to maintain a dense habit. In poor soil, it will be useful to apply a balanced fertiliser in March. Divide the clumps every 3 years to rejuvenate those whose base is thinning out. Propagate by performing layering or taking cuttings.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
