Planting & Care

Install your Dianthus within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with excellent drainage, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart to promote healthy airflow. Water thoroughly after planting, then maintain consistent moisture by watering when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. In early spring, remove any dead winter foliage to stimulate vigorous new growth. Deadhead individual spent flowers to encourage nonstop blooming, or cut back plants by one-third after the main flowering cycle concludes. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring, but avoid heavy feeding, which can lead to weak, sprawling growth with fewer flowers.
