Dianthus is known for its very hardy nature, flowering in the autumn and spring. To help keep your plants strong and healthy here are a few tips in helping them to flower for longer.

•  When you receive your plants make sure you’ve grown them on in suitable pots to help the roots mature before planting them in their final growing position.

•  Dianthus prefer full sunshine to get the best out of them.

•   Try and plant your plants around 15cms apart keeping the base of the stem at soil level. Once planted make sure you use a good feed to encourage the best growth and flowering. We recommend                         Neudorff Organic Multi Purpose Plant Feed, great for encouraging bigger blooms and longer lasting flowers and also pet and child safe.

•   Careful attention to the pruning of your plants will help them grow for longer, when the flower starts to fade then take the head off to encourage more flowering.
