dianthus indoor plant EverBloom™ Strawberry Tart Dianthus

Darling Garden Pinks, the EverBloom™ Strawberry Tart Dianthus (Dianthus x 'G18144') are the easy-to-grow members of the Carnation family that smother themselves in a domed mound of bright pink blooms, each with a red circle around the white eye of each flower! Fringed in toothy petals these are wide-open landing pads for pollinators!

Delightfully scented with the classic Carnation perfume, the compact, blue-green frosted mounds and small slender leaves are almost continuously slathered in strawberry-pink flowers from late spring until fall. Watch for bees, butterflies, and Hummingbirds to stop by in droves!

EverBloom™ Dianthus have near continuous blooming, compact, perennials throughout USDA growing zones 4- 9, and in mild winters can be evergreen to semi-evergreen! Low-growing accents, Dianthus only reach 6-8 inches when in bloom and spread politely to an 18-24 inch mound.

Planting and Application:

Garden Pinks are also delightful in mixed or massed containers on your porch, patio, and around a sunny deck!

Strawberry Tart Dianthus are classic cottage and perennial garden accents and edging! En masse, they act as low-growing groundcover and flowering living mulch anywhere in the sun garden! Garden Pinks delight you with pollinators and tiny cut flower stems for nosegays and bud vases!

#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
