Fringed Pinks Dianthus Flower Seeds
354 Ratings
The Fringed Pinks (Dianthus superbus) is a perennial/biennial plant that showcases exquisite white, pink, crimson, and lilac petals, which are deeply cut, feathery, and highly fragrant. This plant is an excellent choice for sensory or border gardens, with its gray-green leaves forming tufts that add interest throughout the season. Moreover, it attracts butterflies, is deer-resistant, and is a popular cut flower.
Although commonly regarded as an annual, you can obtain first-year blooms by starting the seeds indoors and then transplanting them after the last frost. Light is crucial for germination, so it's best to press the seeds into the soil without covering them. To promote new flowers, cut off the spent blooms frequently.
Here's how to grow Fringed Pinks: sow the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last average frost date, pressing them into the soil but not covering them. After the average last frost date, transplant the seedlings outside. Alternatively, you can directly seed them 1-2 weeks after the last frost.
