| Cultivation:
Like the 'Floral Lace' series...'Tutti Frutti' 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
Hybrid Pinks in full sun to light shade in fertile well drained soil.
Poor drainage is most often the cause of plant failure. Space
Dianthus Tutti Frutti Mix 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. 'Tutti Frutti' is quite heat tolerant.
Tutti Frutti mix is available in shades of Salmon.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Rare.
