Care Guide

Good pest and disease resistance

Dianthus have generally good pest and disease resistance but can have issues with slugs and snails when young. Keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells, grit or copper wire to surround the plant - these will prevent slugs and snails from reaching the leaves.

Full sun

Plant your Dianthus in a sunny sheltered spot where they will enjoy 6-8 hours of sunlight daily

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Plant in any fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Prune in autumn

When the flowers have finished, cut the foliage down to near the base to encourage fresh growth the following year
