Dianthus – Maiden Pink – Seed

Dianthus deltoides – maiden pink

DESCRIPTION: Drought-hardy frost-hardy perennial from coastal cliff sites, with deep pink flowers covering neat cushions of slender foliage. Suited to rockeries, cottage gardens, seaside gardens, and pots. RHS Award of Garden Merit 
PLANTING: Spring and Summer, for hotter parts of Australia winter planting is recommended. Sow seeds into pots containing seed raising mix, gently press into soil and keep moist. Thin seedlings when plants have 2-4 leaves, plant in free draining soil in a full sun location for best flowering.
CARE: Water seedlings regularly until established and continue to provide water especially during dry spells. Mulch plants to keep the shallow roots cool in summer. For an extra flush of flowers, trim lightly and feed with liquid fertiliser. Protect from frost.
