Description
Dianthus plumarius 'Haytor White', commonly known as Haytor White Pinks, forms a thick, spreading cushion of semi-evergreen, slender, rough-textured leaves, with a bluish-green colour. This perennial offers abundant flowering, with intensely fragrant and sweet, double, pure white, fringed corollas. Already cherished by our grandmothers, this timeless perennial combines strength, frugality, and delicacy. Ideal for rock gardens and walls, in full sun.
'Haytor White' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a cultivar derived from Dianthus plumarius and D. caryophyllus. The former is a European perennial and the main ancestor of different groups of pinks, both old-fashioned and modern. The latter, native to the Mediterranean region, has passed on its recognisable sweet fragrance, reminiscent of cloves, to its many descendants. The growth of this pink is quite rapid. Its mature size will not exceed 25cm (10in) in height, with a spread of 30cm (12in). This pink forms a loose clump. From May to July, and again in September, it produces fragrant clusters of white, double flowers with ten fringed petals, measuring 4cm (2in) in diameter. They appear atop short stems, which are usually one-flowered. Its linear, glabrous, evergreen, and leathery leaves are a beautiful greyish-blue.
Dianthus plumarius 'Haytor White' is a border plant, suitable for embankments and dry rock gardens. It can be planted with other flowering cushions such as rock roses, catchflies, dwarf wormwood (Artemisia lanata), wall bellflowers, Caucasian rock cress, moss phlox, Cooper's ice plant (Delosperma cooperi), Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus), and bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). This plant forms an attractive edging between the stones of a wall or pavement, or in a container. It adapts very well to pot cultivation, in light soil.

Planting and care
Plant Dianthus plumarius 'Haytor White' in ordinary, permeable and humus-bearing, stony, preferably limestone, dry to moist, and especially well-drained soil. Gravel-rich soil produces good results. In the ground, this carnation is relatively hardy, withstanding temperatures down to -15°C (5°F). It prefers a sunny exposure but tolerates partial shade. Lightly prune the clump after summer flowering to encourage regrowth in September. Apply a balanced fertiliser to poor soil in March. Divide the clumps every 3 years to rejuvenate those whose base is thinning out. Alternatively, propagate by performing layering or by 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.
