| Cultivation:
The Flora Lace series of Dianthus was created by crossing Dianthus
chinensis, a prolific flowerer... with Dianthus barbatus, a cold
hardy species. This exciting hybrid gives you another choice for
early season planting right along side your Pansies.
Plant Dianthus Floral Lace Crimson in full sun to light shade in fertile well drained soil.
Poor drainage is most often the cause of plant failure. Space
plants 9" apart. Feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid
fertilizer.
The experts say that you should not mulch
Dianthus with wood chips or any organic mulching as it tends to
transmit funguses to the plant. "True Rose" is very heat
tolerant.
Available colors: Cherry,
Crimson, Light Pink, Lilac, Picotee, Purple, Rose, Salmon, True
Rose, Violet, Violet Picotee, White, and a mixture.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Rare.
