Annual Dianthus Seeds - Flower Plant

Annual dianthus seeds produce compact, flowering plants with upright to slightly spreading growth and narrow, blue-green foliage. This type is well suited for garden beds, borders, and container planting, where it establishes quickly and provides seasonal flowering. It performs best in cool to moderate climates and grows well in well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Annual dianthus adapts to full sun and partial shade and completes its life cycle within a single growing season.
