watering

Water Pink Dianthus 'Inchmery' plants once a week, soaking the soil to a depth of about 6 inches. Be sure to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. This can be done by checking the soil weekly with your finger to a depth of 2-3 inches. Water again when it feels just barely damp, not wet. During hot and dry weather, ‘Inchmery’ will appreciate additional moisture. Over-watering can impair the blossoms, and can cause root rot.

sunlight

Pink Dianthus 'Inchmery' does best with at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Morning sun is preferred, as the intense afternoon sun can scorch the petals. If possible, the plant should be positioned in direct sunlight early in the day. In areas with full sun all day, provide some afternoon shade to give the plant a better chance of thriving.

pruning

Pruning of Pink Dianthus 'Inchmery' should occur annually in late Winter prior to the plant’s bloom period. Pruning should be done so that about 1-third of the previous year's growth is removed. Removing dead foliage and weak, spindly branches should also be done. For best blooming performance, pruning should also be done after the plant has finished flowering. Doing this encourages the Dianthus to produce more flowers for the following season.
