Growing instructions:

Dwarf Maiden Pink (Dianthus deltoides) grows best in the UK when seeds are sown indoors from February to April or outdoors right after the last frost in late April or early May. Since seeds require light to grow, start indoors using seed trays filled with compost that drains well. Lightly cover the seeds. For germination, which typically takes 14–21 days, keep the temperature between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. Before moving seedlings outdoors to a sunny, well-drained location with neutral to alkaline soil, harden them off once they have several leaves. Usually blooming from May to July, dwarf maiden pink blooms from late spring to early summer. To promote a longer flowering season and consistently enjoy brilliant blooms, deadhead spent flowers.
