Planting and Care:

Plant in a position that receives full sun for the best flowering results. Dianthus thrives in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions, particularly over winter. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. A light trim after the main flush of flowers can help maintain a tidy shape and promote a second flush of blooms.
