Superbus Hybrids Mix Dianthus Seeds

Superbus Hybrids Mix (Dianthus superbus) is an elegant perennial prized for its extraordinary, deeply fringed flowers and rich, spicy clove fragrance. The delicate, lacy blooms appear in beautiful shades of white, blush pink, rose, lavender, crimson, and soft bicolors, creating an airy display that seems to float above slender blue-green foliage. Blooming from early summer well into late summer, this graceful Dianthus brings old-fashioned charm, delightful fragrance, and outstanding pollinator value to cottage gardens, borders, and cutting gardens.

Garden Uses:

Superbus Hybrids Mix is ideal for cottage gardens, perennial borders, fragrance gardens, rock gardens, pollinator plantings, cutting gardens, and patio containers. The delicate flowers add a soft, natural appearance among lavender, salvias, baby's breath, campanulas, yarrow, Shasta daisies, ornamental grasses, and other classic perennials. Their fragrant blooms are especially lovely planted near patios, garden benches, and walkways where their sweet scent can be fully appreciated.

Growing Information:

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Cover seeds lightly with fine growing medium and maintain temperatures between 65-70°F. Germination usually occurs within 10-20 days. Plants perform best in full sun to light afternoon shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Once established, they tolerate moderate drought but flower most heavily with regular moisture. Deadheading encourages additional blooms and keeps plants looking fresh throughout the growing season.
