Frosty Fire Dianthus Plants in a 3.5″ Pot–Fragrant Early Bloomer!!

$12.95$50.95

Frosty Fire dianthus, sometimes called cheddar pinks or border pinks, can be grown in a variety of areas including borders, slopes, rock gardens, and even certain crevices in rock walls. They have vibrant red, white speckled flowers that bloom abundantly and they emit a spicy clove-like fragrance. They form a solid mat of blue-gray compact foliage, which makes them excellent as a groundcover or rock garden plant. Frosty Fire dianthus is a hardy, herbaceous perennial that may remain evergreen in regions with warmer winters. These are also deer-resistant plants. The plants grow best in full sun but can tolerate light shade. A well-drained, slightly sandy soil is best to avoid crown rot. Normal to light waterings are best and wetting the foliage or crowns should be avoided to prevent crown rot. They should be watered weekly, or more often in extreme heat. Once they’re established, the plants are drought tolerant. They have grass-like foliage that should be cut back after the blooms fade in order to promote reblooming. Hardiness Zones 3-9

Proud Products Guarantee!!

Plants from Daylily Nursery are guaranteed to arrive healthy and green. If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office so that we can help make it right! Plants require proper care and nourishment to adapt to their new surroundings. Unfortunately, if your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn’t covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings.
Exercise caution and use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water during the hotter, dryer periods of the summer. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas, as our plant material ships from cozy greenhouses and will struggle adapting to very cold or frozen soil, or abrupt changes in temperature. This can easily cause damage, stunting, or failure to thrive. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office.
If issues with your plants arise within the first 30 days of receipt, please email or call our office. Our knowledgeable staff will review your concerns and provide guidance and troubleshooting, or a one-time replacement if necessary. The customer assumes responsibility for the cost of shipping the replacement. Happy Planting!
