Very well-branched, upright and strong-stemmed, these excellent landscape and garden performers double as a great backyard cut flower.
Fast-blooming plants respond well to growth regulators applied for potted plant height and tighter umbels.
Performs as a perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 6a to 9b (-10 to 25°F/-23 to -4°C minimum temperature).

Flowers open white, then light pink, and mature to dark pink; optimal colour pattern results from high light and cool night temperatures.

Dianthus Double Purple grow easily from seed but take a long time to mature, so they should be started early indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds into the surface of the soil and cover to their thickness, as darkness is required for germination. Covering the pots with black plastic is a good idea. Keep the planting medium damp, and once the seeds have sprouted, (about 14 days at 70 degrees F.) Move them to a greenhouse.

Dianthus Double Purple A week or so before transplanting into the garden, harden the seedlings off by putting them in a cold frame or a sheltered spot outdoors during the day.

Hardy annual. Dainty, fully double blooms in deepest maroon, almost black, edged in brilliant white. The margins of the petals are heavily frilled, and the overall effect is one of great dignity and refinement, yet stunning beauty. The one-inch blooms are sweetly fragrant. Makes a fine cut flower but really shines in a massed planting. Compact plants, the flowers are held above the grass-like foliage, reaching about a foot in height.
