I need help with my Dianthus!
To All,
I moved into a new home May of last year and discovered that the previous homeowners planted Dianthus in their rock garden. However, since we moved in last May I have never seen it bloom any flowers. It looks healthy and green. Last week I sprinkled some starter fertilizer on top and since then I have seen some slight awakening (it looks like its pointing upwards). I wanted to plant more of it and took a speciman to a garden center. Yep, they said it was definately Dianthus, "Cheddar Pinks" to be specific. Now the soil they are in is kind of acidic, composed of maybe 2 inches topsoil and then mostly clay. I realize that you need good drainage but there is nothing I can do now. I was told the Cheddar Pinks ARE perennials. My questions a 1. Why isn't the existing Dianthus blooming? (They normally bloom in early summer) 2. What can I do to help the existing Dianthus bloom like its supposed to ? Thanks! Mark |
