    Hi all.

    I bought this in flower last year, and it survived the winter outside and exposed and now it's in flower again. Can anyone tell me what it is please?

    Hi Paul, the first is a Dianthus or also known as a little Pink. Bet it smells divine.....
    And the second piuccie - re. burnt leaf. Had any harsh chemicals near it ? Weed killer or lawn weed and feed possibly ?

    Salt spray if you live near the sea?

    Thanks for the answers guys.

    The dianthus here has no scent at all...can I split it? Is it meant to be evergreen or did it survive due to the mild winter?

    I'm from the north east but now live in sunny North Norfolk, about 4 miles from the sea so shouldn't be salt spray, hopefully!!
