Care

• Prefers a well-drained soil in a full sun site.
• Well-drained soils help prolong the life of dianthus; otherwise, they are a short lived perennial.
• Cutting back plants by half after flowering helps to encourage a rebloom.
• Good drainage and alkaline soil helps promote rapid spread of plant.
• Hot humid summers result in melting out of the centers of the plant.
