Superb Pink (Dianthus Superbus Rose) - Easy to care for and long-lived, grow Dianthus seeds for these showy perennial flowers. Dianthus Superbus will begin blooming the first year even when grown from flower seeds. This rose colored Dianthus is heavily fringed and lovely, and the sweet, candy-like fragrance is an additional benefit. Dianthus Superbus is hardy to zone 3 and is not frost tender. It typically gets blooms from late spring to early fall. Deadheading will encourage lots of blooms.

Sow Dianthus Superbus seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix, and sow the Dianthus seed on top, covering lightly with soil. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost season has passed. For directly sowing Dianthus flower seeds outdoors, wait until danger of frost is over, and directly sow Dianthus seed into prepared beds. Lightly cover 1/16 inch and keep seeds moist.

Common Questions

Q

What planting locations work well with dianthus?

A

Dianthus plants add a lovely touch to any container garden with their mounding shape and extended blooming period.

Dianthus also flourishes in an alpine or rock garden due to their preference for fast-draining soil.

Will dianthus spread on its own?

A

Dianthus can spread about a foot from the plant by self-seeding.

Q

Are dianthus plants easy to care for?

A

With the right growing conditions, dianthus plants are low-maintenance and ideal for novice gardeners.

Q

Can dianthus plants grow indoors?

A

Dianthus plants can be started indoors when growing from seed or being propagated, but most dianthus plants are typically grown outdoors long-term.

Q

What plants are similar to dianthus?

A

Consider plants such as snow in summer or creeping phlox if you're looking for blooms similar to dianthus that can also be used as groundcovers.
