Dianthus Fire Star

Fire Star Carnation

A highly appreciated variety of perennial dianthus, known for its bright red flowers, often edged with white, creating a striking contrast. This cultivar forms a compact clump of gray-green foliage and produces an abundant summer bloom. Water moderately, ensuring the soil is well-drained to avoid excess moisture. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote flowering. Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. Hardy, but a light mulch around the base can be useful in colder regions to protect the roots.
