HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow the Dianthus Superbus seed after the last spring frost, planting it just below the surface and compacting the soil slightly. To start the fringed pinks seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sow just below the surface of a flat; compress the soil slightly and keep it consistently moist. Keep the temperature at 60 degrees F until germination, which should take place within 14-20 days. Thin or transplant the seedlings.

Growing: This plant adapts well to dry or rocky soils. Water seedlings until they become established; mature plants are drought tolerant and will only need watering in exceptionally dry periods. This plant usually develops a rosette of leaves in its first season and a flowering stalk in the second summer, though it may bloom in the first year if started early enough. This plant readily reseeds itself, but volunteer seedlings can easily be removed if not wanted. This plant attracts bees and butterflies while resisting deer.

Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water.

Seed Saving: At the end of the season, allow the blossoms to mature and produce seed pods. The long, narrow pods will turn dry and brown, splitting open on the top when ripe. Shake the pods over a container to remove the seeds, which are tiny black discs. Store the Dianthus Superbus seed in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

IN-STOCK ORDERS SHIP WITHIN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. These lovely fringed pink flowers will fill the air with a heavenly scent. The exotic lacy blossoms range from pink to white and blooms in early spring of the second season. Very easy to grow, and very fancy to see.
Greek botanist Theophrastus gave these flowers the genus name Dianthus, which means "divine flower." The common name of "pink" comes from the Old English word "pynken," meaning to cut or notch, in reference to the distinctive jagged edges of the petals. Actually, this family of flowers brought about the use of the word "pink" to describe a color.
