Maintenance Tips for Trixi Dianthus Sel. Oscar 2

Ensuring that your Trixi Dianthus Sel. Oscar 2 thrives in your garden involves following some straightforward maintenance practices. Here are some tips to keep your Dianthus healthy and blooming:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first growing season. Once established, Dianthus is relatively drought-tolerant but performs best with regular watering.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer to support robust growth and abundant flowering.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. Trim back the foliage lightly after the first flush of blooms to promote a second wave of flowering.
• Pest and Disease Control: Dianthus is generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, watch for signs of aphids, slugs, and mildew. Treat infestations promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, protect Dianthus by applying a layer of mulch or straw over the plants in late fall. This helps to insulate the roots and prevent winter damage.

• Soil Type: Dianthus prefers well-draining soil that is slightly alkaline. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage and soil structure.
• Spacing: Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and to accommodate their spreading habit.
