Dianthus 'Black Cherry Frost' PP28605

(Mature Size: 10"T x 15"W)

• Add this Dianthus to your sunnier hosta beds for dynamic color contrast.
• Dianthus 'Black Cherry Frost' has 1¼in, rich, semi-double velvety red flowers that have a fine, serrated, near white edge.
• Flower stems are strong, and are produced above the silvery blue foliage.
• Members of the Dianthus FRUIT PUNCH® series all share the following traits: fully double, fragrant flowers, and good heat and humidity tolerance. 
• Flowers appear in early summer, and a quick shearing after flowering will encourage them to rebloom in early fall.
• FRUIT PUNCH® Dianthus are just the right size to edge the front of the sunny border and use in combination containers.
• Deer resistant, low maintenance and drought tolerant, attracts butterflies, fragrant, cute cut flower—what more could one want in a perennial?
• Dianthus grow best in loose, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soils. Lime can be added to the soil if it is naturally acidic to raise the pH.

Dianthus can be grown in full sun or part shade, but the foliage will not be as lush and fewer flowers will be produced if it is grown in hot, dry areas. Regular watering during prolonged dry spells will be necessary. However, they are tolerant of short periods of dryness.

Do a thorough clean-up in the fall to prevent pest and disease problems, and add a layer of mulch to protect the evergreen foliage. As soon as the weather begins to warm up, remove all of this mulch to prevent crown rot.
