HOW TO GROW Dianthus hyb.

When to Set Outside: A late spring to early summer bloomer, this plant can be set in the ground in spring when there is still the possibility for a light frost, up until early summer. It can also be planted in early autumn.

Placement & Cultivation

Pink Old Vermont's blooms are fragrant with the spicy scent of cloves and bring us back to a time when fragrance, above all else, was treasured. Best crowding border edges and well-drained rock gardens, where it attracts butterflies and bees and repels the advances of deer. If mulching to suppress weeds, use a fine gravel layer to avoid crown rot. Deadhead regularly, and shear to 2" in late fall. Divide every two to three years to renew vigor—in early spring for zones 3-6 or fall in zones 7-9.
Final Spacing: 1-1.5'
Water Use: Low Water Use
Watering Details: Water regularly during first growing season, about 1" per week, watering mornings only. Once established water during especially prolonged dry periods. Avoid overwatering and saturated soils.
Soil pH: Tolerates most soil pH levels, but neutral to alkaline is preferred. If soil is particularly acidic, apply a handful of lime when planting.
Fertilizer: Apply a low-nitrogen granular, organic fertilizer or 2" of compost in springtime.
Diseases & Pests: Leaf spots can mar the leaves of Dianthus. Space well apart for good air circulation and apply organic fungicides if disease is present.
When to Cut For Bouquets: 1/2 florets opened
