Members of the genus Dianthus make wonderful pooling plants around fruit trees.
Dianthus arenarius, the Finnish sand pink; Dianthus sylvestris, the woodland pink,
Dianthus deltoides, the maiden pink, and Dianthus superbus, the superb pink, can all
adapt to part shade, and if you remember to compensate every year for the
nutriment the fruit tree pulls out of the soil, the dianthuses should stay quite healthy
(they are shallow rooted).
