Row in this way accommodates a plant (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dianthus

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'row in this way accommodates a' is the wordplay.
'row' becomes 'din' (both can mean a loud disturbance).
'in this way' becomes 'thus' ('thus' can be a synonym of 'in this way').
'accommodates' indicates putting letters inside.
'din'+'thus'='dinthus'
'dinthus' going around 'a' is 'DIANTHUS'.

(Other definitions for dianthus that I've seen before include "Genus including pinks and carnations" , "pink?" , "Flower" , "Flowering plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
