Description
Treat yourself to a little slice of heaven when you add this beautiful Dianthus to your landscape. The American Pie Series is bred for blooms that are carried on sturdy stems that do not flop. They are great for picking and long lasting cut flowers. 'Cherry Pie' features large, rich deep red blooms above a tidy, compact mound of silver foliage. The blooms are fresh, unique, and fun. They also have a delectably spicy scent. It'll bloom from early summer to early fall. Butterflies and other beneficial pollinators will be especially pleased.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a dense mound 8 to 12 inches tall and about a 8 to 12 inches wide, the Cherry Pie Dianthus is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or in mass plantings in sunny landscape borders and on slopes. Its smaller size makes it an excellent candidate as a solo or mixed with other plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly garden, sunny perennial gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 10 inches apart for mass plantings; 24 inches or more apart for space between plants

Cultural Preferences and Planting & Care Tips
Dianthus are very easy to grow in most any moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to low fertility and full to mostly sun. Some shade is tolerated however flowering will be diminished in too much shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering and overall performance. Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Spent flowers can be deadheaded. Feed in spring with an organic plant food.
Plant Long & Prosper!
