Bring bright, clean color to small spaces with Dianthus × 'Fruit Punch(R) Whipped Cream'. This compact perennial stays about 8-10 inches tall and makes a tidy mound that fits easily into edging, rock gardens, and containers.

Give your plant full sun for the heaviest flowering, but it will also perform in part shade, especially where summers are hot. Place it where soil drains quickly; raised beds, gravelly soils, and well-amended garden beds are ideal for keeping roots healthy.

Water regularly the first season while it establishes, then water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Avoid soggy conditions, and do not bury the crown. A light feeding in spring is usually enough in average garden soil.

Deadhead spent blooms to keep the plant looking neat and to encourage more flowers. In USDA zones 4-9, trim back lightly after a flush of bloom and remove winter-damaged stems in early spring to refresh growth.
