Floral Lace Mix – Lacy dianthus blooms for winter borders & displays

Family

Caryophyllaceae

This sought-after hybrid, Dianthus chinensis 'Floral Lace Mix', is a beloved selection in the China Pink Dianthus family. Its striking features include lively colors, extended blooming season, and early flowering pattern. The frilled flowers showcase two-toned hues of red, pink, purple, and white, each measuring 1-1.5 inches in diameter. The slender, green to blue-green leaves further add to its appeal. By receiving an early and consistent flower performance, this chinensis variety attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Standing at a height of 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) and spreading 15-20 cm (6-8 inches), these blooms reach a remarkable size of 5-6 cm in diameter, making them highly desirable for pollinators.

Environment

For optimal growth, Dianthus prefers full sun or partial shade. When planting, use well-draining, moderately fertile soil, and keep plants 8-10" (20-25cm) apart. Water moderately and avoid overwatering. During bloom season, apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. To encourage continuous blooming, regularly remove dead blooms. For denser foliage, pinch young plants.

Landscape

Great for edging, containers, and garden beds.

 

Make sure your seedling tray or pot (whichever you choose) has a drainage hole in it. If you choose a pot, a 5€ pot should be fine. You can either use well drained soil or make a combination of 1 part each of cocopeat, vermiculite and perlite.

While sowing seeds make sure the soil is damp and not wet. Water the seeds as the soil starts to dry. It should always be moist, but never wet or muddy. Do not water the seeds if the soil is already moist to the touch, as overwatering your plant can be just as harmful as underwatering.

Keep the seedling tray in bright filtered light to begin with. Slowly introduce the plant to morning sun and bring it back in before the afternoon sun sets in. In a weeks time you can put it in direct sunlight.
