Arctic Fire Dianthus blossoms shine with brilliant ruby-red eyes glowing against dazzling white petals. Commonly known as Garden Pinks, plants explode with a profusion of flowers in late spring and early summer, carpeting the ground and drawing butterflies to the garden. Dense mats of evergreen foliage provide lush groundcover along walkways and garden borders. Deer resistant. (Dianthus deltoides)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
6-8" tall x 12-18" wide. Arctic Fire Dianthus (Dianthus deltoides) has
vibrant, fringed blooms and spicy fragrance. Dianthus (commonly known as
Garden Pinks) have delighted gardeners for centuries, it’s a mainstay
of cottage gardens and providing nectar for migrating hummingbirds in
spring. The low-spreading growth forms an ideal groundcover for
stabilizing slopes and edging perennial beds. Blooms make lovely
cuttings for nosegays and mini bud vases. The narrow, gray-green foliage
provides winter color and a platform for summer perennials. Provide
full sun and well-drained alkaline to neutral soil. Dianthus have low
water needs and are drought tolerant once established making them ideal
for rock gardens and xeriscaping. Plants tolerate afternoon shade in hot
climates. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and shear plants
lightly after flowering to promote tight, dense growth.
