Perennial DIANTHUS Mid-Season Care for More Flowers

This short video is all about caring for our Dianthus in the middle of the season. Just after they have finished flowering their heaviest early summer flush, we come in and give them a shearing. I show exactly how to do so in this video! #dianthus #gardening #plantvibrations

Perfect timing!! I was just outside looking at my dianthus thinking I hope you’ll make a video on how to prune them.
Thank you!

Thank you for this! I planted about 6 dianthus this year. Now the flowers are getting brown. I didn’t know what to do. Now I know!

How is the clematis doing that I see in the background?

Give those scraps to chickens. They LOVE dianthus!

I live in Pennsylvania and I have not done any deadheading or trimming for my flower however I want to properly prepare it for the winter. I’m assuming I’ll need to cut it like you did in the video?
I also saw how I can just takeoff the dead flowers. So my question is, when should I do the different types of cutting down? Do I just remove the dead flowers after they bloom in the spring so I can see more in August, and then completely cut down the flower before winter?
Thanks in advance!

Hey, just found this, perfect timing. My 3 year old Dianthus are stunning, but was wondering. Is it also beneficial to individually clip off dead flowers as they occur until giving it the big haircut?

Bought my first dianthus early this season. Could you tell me what the yellow star shaped flowers next to it are?

[brownbunnies]

Which month you do this and would they gonna flower again in same season?

[zinebchellali]
