Get ready for a new type of Dianthus from Proven Winners®! These beauties are prized for their bright colors and increased heat tolerance. This translates to better performance nearly nationwide, even in the heat-loving states. ‘Paint the Town Fuchsia’ is one of the earliest Dianthus to bloom, producing ¾-1” wide, single fuchsia flowers with lavender centers and incredibly serrated petals.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers fertile, alkaline, somewhat gritty loams with good drainage. Tolerates some part afternoon shade, particularly in hot summer climates. Plants tend to die out in the center if drainage is not superior. Division and/or reseeding may be necessary every 2-3 years. Prompt removal of spent flowers may prolong bloom period. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
