Add bold, saturated red color to beds and containers with Dianthus × 'Pretty Poppers® 'Electric Red'. You get a tidy, mounded plant with narrow blue-green foliage that stays attractive for a long season, plus deeply fringed, spicy-fragrant flowers that stand out from a distance.

Place it where you can enjoy the scent and the color up close: the front of a border, along a walk, in a rock garden, or tucked into a mixed container. At maturity it stays compact (about 8-10 inches tall) with a small footprint, so it slips easily into tight spaces without overwhelming neighbors.

For best performance, give your plant full sun to part shade and soil that drains well. Water regularly while it establishes, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is especially important in winter; avoid low spots where water lingers after rain or snowmelt.

To keep the display going, snip off spent flower stems. A quick shear after the first flush can encourage fresh growth and a later repeat bloom. In early spring, tidy up any winter-worn foliage and feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer. This is an easy perennial when its basic needs are met: sun, drainage, and occasional grooming.
