» RomaineU - Thanks!
I should have found your page sooner.... Gay did help me identify a plant commonly called a "picotee". My Grandmother used to grow them in the 1920s and I had been trying to find out what they were. Gay came up with the name 'Mrs Sinkins' Pink. I see you have these listed.Norgate Seeds in Victoria have seeds available by mail order. Do you think this would be a good way to grow these dianthus or would I have more success buying a plant?

» Gary - seeds verses plants
Hi Romaine,I have not bought seed from these folks.
If the seed is open pollinated, then I would buy the plants from Woodbank.
Ask if the seed is from hand pollinated stocks before buying, otherwise you could be planting not the thing ordered.
Border Gateway Bulbs also have some dianthus, so ask Dirk and Shayne.
mailto:bgbulbs@hotkey.net.au
Their products are most sound and cheaply priced.
Just for the record, folks I recommend to buy from have no financial ties with me.
I recommend them because I am their customer, and have found these folks the best to buy from, both is sound healthy product and modest price.
This said, sometimes these suppliers maybe offering a bulb for $20 or $30s; but elsewhere, it would be at least double this.
cheers,
