Description
With all the spicy fragrance of old-time Dianthus, ‘Georgia Peach Pie’ is an exciting new introduction from the renowned Whetman’s Pinks in England. Luscious peach hued flowers with a ring of raspberry surrounding an apricot eye appear over a long period in spring and rebloom in summer and fall! Excellent for sunny patio gardens and around other outdoor living spaces where the heavenly aroma and cute flowers can be enjoyed from up close.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a dense mound 6 to 12 inches tall and about a 12 to 16 inches wide, the Georgia Peach Pie Dianthus is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or in mass plantings in sunny landscape borders and on slopes. Its smaller size makes it an excellent candidate as a solo or mixed with other plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly garden, sunny perennial gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 12 inches apart for mass plantings; 24 inches or more apart for space between plants

Cultural Preferences and Planting & Care Tips
Dianthus are very easy to grow in most any moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to low fertility and full to mostly sun. Some shade is tolerated however flowering will be diminished in too much shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering and overall performance. Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Spent flowers can be deadheaded. Feed in spring with an organic plant food.
Plant Long & Prosper!
