Waterloo Sunset is ideal for picking as a vase flower which will last over an extended period. Masses of bright magenta flowers with a port wine eye smother the plant for a prolonged period from spring to summer. As if the outstanding colour isnt enough, this dianthus forms a compact clump of blue-green spiky foliage which is attractive in its own right. Sun lovers, at home in a flower border or pot, and quite dry tolerant with the occasional deep watering in summer.
