Description How to Grow Delivery Reviews

Dianthus barbatus 'Rockin' Red' is a reliable, hardy perennial with flower that are pillar box red. It is one of the most vibrant reds ever created on a Sweet William. This new interspecific hybrid has a sweet, spicy fragrance, that fills the air, making it a great choice for flower borders in the front garden, next to driveways and garden paths. Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 30cm (12").

Premium perennials are large plug tray plants, roughly the same size as garden ready plants like a potted plant without a pot. They will need to be acclimatised to the garden, and once all chance of frost has cleared can be planted out directly into the garden.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
