Common Name: Pinks
Botanical Name : 'Dianthus'  chinese  'Parfait Raspberry'

Dianthus Raspberry Parfait has petite pink flowers with a dark crimson eye that grows equally well in patio pots or beds. The Super Parfait series has a compact growth habit that flowers earlier than other varieties of Dianthus. The spent flowers of the Dianthus Raspberry Parfait should be removed to promote new flower growth. Truly a eye-catching plant.    

Common Name: Pinks
Botanical Name : 'Dianthus'  chinese  'Telstar Pink' and 'Telstar White'

'Telstar' series was created by crossing Dianthus chinensis, a prolific flowerer... with Dianthus barbatus, a cold hardy species. This exciting hybrid gives you another choice for early season planting right along side your Pansies. Plant Dianthus Telstar in full sun to light shade in fertile well drained soil. Poor drainage is most often the cause of plant failure. 'Telstar' is quite heat tolerant. The experts say that you should not mulch Dianthus with woods chips or any organic mulching as it tends to transmit funguses to the plant.
