Maintenance Tips for Dianthus 'Cranmere Pool'

Caring for Dianthus 'Cranmere Pool' ensures healthy growth and continuous flowering throughout the season. Follow these maintenance tips to cultivate a thriving plant:

• Planting Location: Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Dianthus thrives in slightly alkaline soil conditions.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding, which can weaken the plant.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of blooms.
• Division: Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain vigor.
