dianthus
very pretty color
Vibrant orange flowers are rimmed with white and are long-lasting. With deadheading, the blooms will continue throughout the summer and into the fall. This sturdy little plant works great in containers, edging, and borders.
Uses: Rock Gardens, Containers, Edging
Nature Attraction: Butterflies
Critter Resistance: Deer
Growth Habit: Mounding
Homeowner Growing Tips: Provide a spot in full sun. Amend soil with compost and a sprinkling of lime before planting. Dianthus prefer good drainage, especially in winter, so planting on a slight mound can help. A thin layer of gravel or stone chips on top of the soil is preferable to wood mulches or leaves. Deadhead throughout the season to prolong blooming.

I purchased these carnations in the spring and they started to bloom a few weeks ago! I love them.
