Description

This Cottage Garden Devon Pinks Collection delivers strong fragrance, rich colour and dependable summer flowering. Each plant is compact, hardy and easy to grow, making it ideal for borders, pots and cottage-style plantings.

Plants stay neat and bushy, reaching a compact size while producing regular flowers from June to October. The scent is strong and unmistakably clove-like. Bees and butterflies visit often.

They are also excellent cut flowers, holding their scent well indoors. Just a small handful brings fragrance and colour into any room. For gardeners wanting reliable summer flowers, strong scent and proper cottage garden charm, this collection offers simple, long-lasting value.

You will receive a collection of six plants, selected from the seven varieties listed below. Varieties are chosen according to seasonal availability, so the exact mix may vary and cannot be guaranteed.

  • 'Gran's Favourite' - carnation pink, clove-scented, lacy white flowers with raspberry picotee edges
  • 'Doris' - A very pretty pink variety, with darker pink to red centres to the petals
  • 'Houndspool Cheryl' - deep cherry pink, fringed petals
  • 'Diane' - clove-scented, double deep salmon-pink
  • 'Haytor' - pure white, fully double flowers
  • 'Moulin Rouge' - light pink blooms with deep, dark purplish red blotches and markings
  • 'Cranmere Pool' - lightly scented double flowers with white petals and bright red at the base

Supplied as a set of 6 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Top Tips
Regular deadheading will ensure that your Devon Pinks flower right up to the first frosts.
Care Information
  • For most plug plant collections, the “mini Greenhouse” they are packed in will have a label on the outside, listing the individual varieties inside. We recommend writing your own labels out on receipt!
  • Give your plugs a little attention on arrival - unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
  • If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet. We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When you're ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 7-10cm pots.
  • Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
  • For great results, we recommend using our Windowsill Planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Grow on either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
  • If planting directly into flower beds when all risk of frost has passed, prepare the ground well, removing weeds and digging in some compost or well-rotted manure if your soil is not already rich.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

If you have ordered a 'pre-order' item, these will be sent out as soon as possible after the quoted dispatch date and we generally ship your entire order with any pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email with details on how you can track it.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, we will not require a signature on delivery, and we ask out couriers to leave your item in a safe place ad your delivery address.

If you have delivery instruction and require our courier to leave your item in a specific place, please let us know - there is an option to leave a message for the courier at the checkout.

For smaller and single-item orders, we may send these via the post with Royal Mail - Tracking will not be available for orders sent via this method.

**Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
