Dianthus, also known as “pinks”, is a low-maintenance plant that comes in various colors and can be grown in well-drained compost in full sun. It prefers slightly alkaline soil with a pH close to 7, which can be achieved by adding lime based on a soil test. The plant grows best in cool, moist conditions, but once established, it is drought-tolerant.
Dianthus flowers are scented, attract pollinators, and have a cottage-style appeal. They grow best in cool, moist conditions, but they can tolerate partial shade. Full sun, at least six hours daily, is ideal for dianthus, but it will tolerate partial shade. Carnations do poorly in heat, although the flowers do.
Dianthus care requires full sun, with at least six hours of light, and water once a week with at least an inch of water. All dianthus prefer full sun (at least six hours per day), rich soil with two to four inches of well-rotted compost, and work the compost to a depth of at least one inch.
Dianthus is relatively easy to maintain under its ideal sunlight, soil, and water growing conditions. Once they’re established, perennial dianthus requires a minimum of six hours of sunlight each day. They will survive with less light, but they won’t flower as fully.
In summary, Dianthus is a low-maintenance plant that can be easily propagated and grown in well-drained compost in full sun. It prefers slightly alkaline soil with a pH close to 7, and can be easily propagated.

📹 🌺 Dianthus Plant Chat – QG Day 95 🌺
Today, on day 95, we are talking about our perennial dianthus plant. It’s Friday, so this is our “Plant Chat” day and we talk about …
Hello guys I just purchased this plant at Lowe’s and was wanting to plant them in my entryway of my home and since this is my first home and first time doing some gardening. I wanted to see what advice you all can give me that I can take while planting this on the ground. What should I add to my soil and area before planting them down and how far apart should they be?
always good to hear from other gardeners but i often wonder why you tubers done tell us on ever article what Zone and country they are in, As we all know the plant will or will not survive in different zones, I recently bought some Dianthus for a sunny location under my Ornamental grasses and driveway edge. But you show them in pots and i think you said 8 years? spacing is saying 12 inches or 30 cm and if your pot is 8 years old and hasnt grown out of the pot yet this may not be the plant i want here after all? Be great if you could say a bit more about why its in a pot what it would do in the ground and where you are
This is my first time,trying to grow Anything. I pulled what looked like a dead plant out of a Lowe’s trash bin. I gave it some water and it came back snd bloomed a little flower, beautiful, so I gotta keep this little guy going, what does regular watering mean? Water every day or every other day?

These really DO split easily and are pretty impossible to kill. Have you noticed them growing with their roots actually above the soil? My only guess why is the hard rains we can get in the springtime that just pound the soil away??? We initially had just one growing in our garden bed about 7 years ago and they have reseeded themselves in all sorts of random spots. I always meant to transplant them so they look more “organized” but forget each summer and am now knee deep in other garden projects. 😅 My biggest complaint of the dianthus is they are slug magnets…worse than any other flower for us (with the exception of our thyme…do you guys have a particular slug magnet flower in your garden?). We have the low growing dianthus also and I’d rather have the blooms you can cut for vases but didn’t know there was ever a difference 🤦♀️😂
