#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dianthus are full sun perennial plants with improved heat tolerance, and appreciate afternoon shade in the hotter climates of 4 through 9, where they can be evergreen perennials in mild winter locations! Requiring average moisture and any well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant Dianthus appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the soil surface to hold in moisture more regularly and enrich the soil.
Forming mounds 8 - 10 inches high and spread to about 10 - 14 inches wide, Fruit Punch® Dianthus carpet areas quickly. After they finish their first flush of blooms, a quick shear will allow them to re-energize for a nice rebloom in the fall. You can prune the mounds to keep them neat and tidy, removing any winter dieback. Garden Pinks are well-known as cold hardy and easy growing, plus they are deer and rabbit resistant!
