Dianthus Seeds - Zing Rose

Growing Zing Rose Dianthus Garden Seeds

Zing Rose dianthus seeds can be sown immediately after the frost or, for earliest blooms, start indoors 8-10 weeks prior to final frost. Germination will take 7-14 days then transplant and harden off seedlings once there are two sets of true leaves to a partially sunny spot in the garden or equally bright place indoors. Lightly press 3-4 Zing Rose dianthus seeds into fertile, loamy, and well-drained soil in full sun. Do not overwater because Zing Rose dianthus is susceptible to leaf spots caused by saturation if not properly drained or ventilated. Plants will benefit from deadheading and partial shade during hot summer days. Dianthus has no known pests or insects. Zing Rose dianthus seeds are perennials that mature in their 2nd year as 6-12 inch tall mound with a 12-18 inch vining spread of bright cherry red blooms with lush greens.

Dianthus deltoides, sometimes referred to as Maiden Pink, is native to moderate climates of the Pyrenees mountains of southern Europe and stretching into Asia, although the plant has been naturalized in many parts throughout the world. Dianthus deltoides is strikingly similar in appearance to its cousin of the same Dianthus genus, the Sweet William flower.
