Description
Floral Lace Mix dianthus (Dianthus chinensis × barbatus) produces a cheerful blend of frilled flowers in shades of red, pink, purple, and white. Compact plants reach about 6–10 inches tall and wide, creating colorful edging, container accents, and mass plantings without taking up much space.
Growing Floral Lace Mix in Alabama
Give plants full sun or light afternoon shade and well-drained, preferably neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Water deeply when needed, but avoid keeping the roots soggy. Space plants so air can circulate during humid weather. Floral Lace dianthus generally performs best during Alabama’s cool fall and spring seasons, when flowers last longer than they do in midsummer heat. Remove spent blooms to keep the planting fresh, and use a light mulch that does not cover the crowns.
