How do I grow garden Pinks?

How to plant.

Fork some bonemeal or slow release fertiliser into the top 3” of soil. At this stage you can add grit and/or lime should your soil type require them.
Carefully knock the plants out of their pots and place them on the soil surface at around 9-12” apart.
Take out the planting holes with a trowel, just deep enough to over the rootball. Replace the soil and firm in lightly with your fists. Water in well.
