How to Care for the Plant

Water
Drought-tolerant once established.
Pruning
Clip lightly after blooming.
Fertilizer
Generally, dianthus doesn't need plant growth regulators. Fertilize as needed with a liquid feed at 100 to 150 ppm nitrogen. Grow plants on the dry side, allowing them to dry out between waterings. Vernalization and cold treatments are beneficial but not necessary for successful dianthus production.
