Enjoy bright, coral-toned blooms and tidy, blue-gray foliage with Dianthus × 'Fruit Punch(R) Classic Coral'. This compact pinks selection forms a low, mounded plant that looks right at home along paths, in the front of borders, or tucked into containers where you can appreciate its lightly fragrant flowers up close.

At maturity you can expect a height around 10-12 inches, with a spread of about 12-14 inches. Give it full sun for the strongest flowering, though it also performs in part shade (especially where summers run hot). Plant in well-drained soil and avoid heavy, soggy sites; a slightly alkaline to neutral soil reaction is often ideal for dianthus. Water regularly during establishment, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings.

For best display, shear or deadhead spent flower stems to encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking fresh. In mild climates the foliage can remain attractive for much of the year. This selection is generally hardy in USDA Zones 4-9, making it an easy, colorful choice for long-season garden interest.
