| Cultivation:
Like the 'Tutti Frutti' series, 'Telstar' 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 Telstar in full sun to light shade in fertile well drained soil.
Poor drainage is most often the cause of plant failure. 'Telstar' is quite heat tolerant.
The
experts say that you should not mulch Dianthus with woods
chips or any organic mulching as it tends to transmit funguses to
the plant.
