Bring vivid color and scent to your garden with Dianthus × 'Fruit Punch® Spiked Punch' (Pinks 'Fruit Punch® Spiked Punch'). This compact dianthus forms a low, tidy mound of narrow, blue-gray foliage and covers itself with fully double, fuchsia-pink flowers highlighted by a deep red eye. The blooms are noticeably fragrant and make a cheerful edging plant where you can enjoy them up close.

Plant it in full sun to part shade and give it loose, well-drained soil. Keep the crown from sitting in wet ground, especially in winter. Water to establish, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings; it handles short dry spells better than soggy conditions. A light feeding in spring is usually plenty in average garden soil.

For best flowering, shear off spent blooms and give the plant a quick trim to encourage fresh growth and potential rebloom. Space plants about 12-14 inches apart to maintain good air flow and a clean, mounded habit. At maturity it stays about 6-8 inches tall and fits easily along borders, pathways, and in containers.
