Delivered in flower, they will give instant colour to your pots and baskets. When the display finishes you can plant dianthus into alpine beds and rockeries, or use them to edge the front of a sunny border where you will be able to enjoy their spicy perfumed blooms the following year. - Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and deadhead to prolong flowering.
