Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to part shade and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole that's about twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the pot.
2. Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil slightly moist, especially during the first few weeks after planting. Once established, the Dianthus is relatively drought-tolerant but thrives with regular watering during dry spells.
3. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers throughout the blooming season to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. In late fall or early spring, cut back the foliage to about 2 inches above the ground.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support vigorous growth and blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to weaker plants and less flower output.
