A selection of the Border Pinks, a group of Dianthus that are a favourite for planting in rock gardens or using as a border edging. This compact variety forms a low mound of grassy blue-grey foliage, with a long display of fragrant single scarlet-red blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more buds to form. Clip back by half in early autumn to maintain a bushy habit. Plants require good drainage and are an excellent choice for hot dry sites or gravelly soils.
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)
