Dianthus Deltoides Roseus – Confetti Carmine Pink also known as Maiden Pink, is vigorous and free-flowering evergreen perennial, that forms a spreading mat of green narrow leaves. The foliage mound is covered by a profusion of small single flowers that are heavily fringed, that come in shades of pink, red, or white. These dainty flowers are borne on branched flowering stems. It has a blooming season that starts in late Spring and lasts throughout the Summer, grows best in full sun in neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils, and will grow between 6 – 12 inches tall. They do tolerate some afternoon shade in places that have hot Summer climates and are also drought tolerant. This plant is a recipient of the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. These showy flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These may self-seed in optimum growing conditions.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
