Product description
This six pack of Dianthus F1 Corona Blueberry Magic bedding plants stand out with their wonderful blueberry blue shades. These unusually large flowers are borne above low, bushy mounds of grass like foliage from late spring throughout summer until October. The flowers fade to a darker eye and masses of multiple large blooms are continuously produced over the season. Dianthus make great additions to bed and borders displays as well as hanging baskets and will look stunning paired with other cool-season flowers in contrasting shades.
Plant in full to partial sun and in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Avoid soggy conditions and overwatering. Regular removal of faded flower stems encourages continued flowering.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead frequently to extend the flowering period and keep the plants tidy. Many varieties offer a sweet fragrance and attract pollinators, making Dianthus perfect for adding both charm and scent to summer displays.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, especially in hot or dry weather. Dianthus prefer drier conditions over soggy soil, so ensure good drainage. Avoid watering overhead to reduce the risk of mildew and keep the foliage looking its best.
How to Plant
Plant Dianthus bedding plants in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil in a bright, sunny spot. These compact, mound-forming plants are ideal for borders, edging, and containers. Space them 15–20cm apart to allow airflow and prevent overcrowding.
