Ideal Formula Mix Dianthus

Description

Dianthus 'Ideal Formula Mix' was meticulously developed as a high-performing hybrid within the Dianthus chinensis family. Its inclusion in the renowned “Ideal Series” is due to its striking colors, cold-hardiness, and abundant blooming.

These half-hardy annual or biennial flowers feature single, serrated petals in a vast array of shades, ranging from white and pink to magenta, red, and bicolors. The blooms are typically 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and the plants grow to a height of 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) with a spread of 10–12 inches (25–30 cm).

This variety was carefully selected for its well-matched habit and prolific flowering, truly showcasing the best colors of the original Ideal series. Its vibrant, lacy-edged flowers stand out against the bright green leaves, making it a favorite for attracting butterflies and bees.

Environment

Optimal conditions for growth include ample sunlight and well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Avoid overwatering and ensure proper drainage to prevent soggy conditions. Monthly fertilization with a balanced flower fertilizer is recommended. This variety of dianthus performs best in cooler temperatures compared to other types.

Landscape

Ideal for beds, borders, containers, and window boxes.

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.
