It is very gratifying, low maintenance, and simple to grow.

Growing instructions:

Dianthus superbus Superb Pink Mix can be sown immediately outside from May to July or indoors from February to April. Because seeds require light to germinate, gently press them over damp seed compost when sowing inside. Store between 15 and 20°C; germination takes two to three weeks. After the last frost, harden off and plant out seedlings that are big enough to manage. For borders, rockeries, or cottage gardens, pick a sunny, well-drained location. Once established, direct-sown plants can be trimmed. In the first year (if sowed early) or the second year, flowers bloom from June to September. To promote more blooming, deadhead wasted blossoms. It is a perennial with a lovely scent that comes back year after year with little maintenance.
