The Story

Plant Bio

Dianthus are classic garden perennials, forming tidy mounds of silvery-blue foliage that contrast beautifully with their profuse, carnation-like blooms. 'Plum Glory' is part of the EverBloom series, specifically bred for an exceptionally long blooming period, producing fragrant, double plum-pink flowers from spring until fall.

EarlyLate

Uses & Benefits:

Its long bloom season provides continuous color from spring to fall. The vibrant plum-pink flowers and contrasting blue-green foliage are perfect for adding season-long interest to borders and containers.

This dianthus forms a low, spreading mat, making it an excellent choice for a small-scale groundcover, pathway edging, or for spilling over the edges of rock walls and containers.

The fragrant flowers are a magnet for beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems throughout its extended blooming period.

Planting

How to Grow

Find a location that receives full sun all day.
Prepare the soil, ensuring it is loose and drains quickly.
Dig a hole slightly larger than the plant's container.
Place the plant in the hole, keeping the crown at or above soil level.
Fill in around the plant and water gently.
Mulch with gravel or grit to keep moisture away from the crown.

Pro Tip

Shear the entire plant back by about one-third after the main spring bloom flush to promote dense regrowth and continuous flowering.
