Dianthus Deltoides Maiden Pink remains green year round with 1 inch fragrant blooms of pink and red hues concentrated at the top during its blooming season from spring to summer. This mat-forming species with dark green leaves is one of the easiest to grow. The flowers keep their beauty even during the hottest summer months. It is a ready self-seeder, so will fill in nicely, making it a great ground cover or border plant.

Maiden Pink flower seed take about 14 days to germ. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, and transplant when plants are 3 inches high. Or can start directly outside as soon as soil can be prepared and cover with 1/8 inch of topsoil. Might take a full year before flowering.

Lime improves the pH of acidic soils, adds valuable micronutrients to soil, and helps break down organic matter. In addition, lime is white so it is easy to tell where you have spread the seed. Just sprinkle the mixture over good quality soil, and then gently water to keep seed moist until it sprouts!
