Description
Floral Lace White dianthus (Dianthus chinensis × barbatus) brings crisp white, frilled flowers to borders, planters, and low garden edges. Its dense green foliage stays compact, with plants generally reaching about 6–10 inches tall and wide. The white blooms blend easily with brighter cool-season flowers.
Growing Floral Lace White in Alabama
Choose full sun or light afternoon shade and loose, well-drained soil. Dianthus prefers neutral to slightly alkaline conditions and benefits from watering at the soil level rather than soaking foliage. Avoid saturated roots and allow space for air movement in humid weather. In Alabama, fall and spring usually provide the best growing and flowering conditions; intense summer heat can reduce vigor. Remove spent blooms and yellowing leaves to maintain a clean display in beds or containers.
