Dianthus Amurensis- Amur River Pink. In Greek, this name means ‘divine flower’ that hails from Siberia. This perennial plant comes in pink and magenta (pink, purple} with a sweet aroma that butterflies, and bees find very delightful. Although perfect for the rock garden, it does perfectly fine in containers and is ornamental. The plant thrives in hot humid temperatures and colder climates as well, with well-draining soil. They can also be planted in cottage gardens, in flower beds, around doors and in walkways, and deadheading will create more flowers. Blooming from Spring until late Fall, it is a great choice for late season color. Some have this really neat thin ring of a darker red or black that is toward the center but separates the center from the petals, very cool like someone took a marker and painted it.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
