PRODUCT DETAILS

Dianthus Chinensis are lightly scented and though hardy perennials in zones 7-10, they are considered annuals. Very colorful, they will bloom all summer long. The plants form a 3-4 inch high mound and the flowers are borne on stalks 6-10 inches tall. The variety reseeds itself.

Dianthus are biennials or short-lived perennials that are primarily grown as annuals in cold weather areas. They don't do very well in hot and humid summers.

They are best grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun, but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot summer weather.

Deadhead spent flowers to promote blooming. When flowering declines, plants may be cut to promote additional bloom.

Dianthus plants attract butterflies and hummingbirds, as well as pollinating insects.

Start Dianthus seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date.
Use a  light, loamy soil mix. Sprinkle seeds over the top of soil and cover lightly.
Cover the tray with a plastic wrap to keep the soil moist and warm until seedling emerge. Then remove the cover. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, move into their own pots. Transplant outdoors once they’re 4-5 inches high.

Setup Dianthus seeds outdoors to a depth of 1/8 inch when all danger of frost has passed. Keep the soil moist, and once they have 2-3 leaves, thin to 8-12 inches apart.

Plantings may burn out in hot summers or may melt out in the center when soils are not well-drained. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. When flowering declines, plants may be sheared to promote additional bloom.
