At Rachel Love Plants, we welcome 2024 with the first dianthus. This year we’ve produced a beautiful range of varieties: Carnelia, Oscar, Peman, I Love You, …
Colour, cold hardiness, fragrance… These plants have many attractions for flower lovers, as well as many advantages:
- They are highly resistant to the cold. They are a perfect option for brightening up the brightest corners of the house during the cold months, as they can be placed in full sun or part shade.
- Variety of colours and shapes: the different varieties produced here in Almeria, some new and others traditional due to their high demand, offer a wide range of choices. They also come in a wide variety of sizes.
- Attractive to wildlife: these plants attract many pollinating insects such as butterflies, which bring life to the garden at this time of year.
There’s plenty of choice of plants during this month, but flowering plants that are a preamble to spring are few and far between, such as dianthus. What’s more, you can advise your customers to buy them by emphasising the following points
– Their durability – it’s very important to stress the longevity of dianthus, as their flowers can accompany us practically all year round if they’re well cared for.
– Ease of care: full sun or part shade, watering without over-watering and correct cleaning of spent flowers will ensure that this plant is a colourful sight in your garden for many months to come.
– You can run special offers from January onwards: it’s the ideal time to encourage sales and promotions, as flowering starts now and you’ll have no shortage of irresistible colour in your customers’ eyes.
– Have you thought about organising demonstrations or workshops on growing and caring for dianthus to involve your customers and teach them how to look after their flowers properly? This would be a great opportunity to attract customers to your point of sale during the January season!
With all the above, I have no doubt that the Dianthus is a highlight for any gardening enthusiast in January and an opportunity to take pleasure in its flowers and their fragrance. Let’s make the most of it!
Rachel Love Plant and I invite you to explore the wide variety of Dianthus available and enjoy their benefits.
