The listing, ~Maiden Pinks~ Brilliancy seeds (10) has ended.
Maiden Pinks have a dark ring near the bloom center. Shearing back spent blooms will encourage reblooming and minimize self seeding. Maiden Pinks can seed rather aggressively if allowed. Forming a loose mat, they spread slowly by underground rhizomes, excellent for a colorful groundcover. Maiden Pinks are easy to grow from seed, seeds started indoors early will bloom their first year. Dianthus are a short lived perennial, so divide every three years to maintain plant health and produce new plants, or allow to self seed to produce fresh plants. Avoid mulching heavily with organic mulches, which may encourage fungus to afflict the delicate stems. Maiden Pinks are easy to grow and care for, excellent for beginning gardeners. In warm regions, the foliage is evergreen and remains attractive year round.
