#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dianthus, aka Garden Pinks, need full sun and sharply drained soils to do their best. Provide enough water to establish, and then only supplemental moisture in extreme conditions. A 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch helps in the hottest climates and coldest winters by adding insulation. Deadhead after blooms fade, and prune mounds in late winter or early spring to clean the mounds of dead foliage.
- Full Sun
- Very Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate to Low Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowering & Prune Early Spring
- Deer Resistant
