David you bring light hearted glory to gardening information 🤗
Thank you. It is FUN growing and enjoying all these beautiful plants. AND, it is even better, when I get the chance to tell everyone about them too!
As you can probably tell, I am more than just a wee bit fond of my job!
Hi David you have abeautiful dianthus I love this plant and I have many colors from it and they all smell fragrant . Thank you for the information about dianthus .Have anice day .
Thank you, we are very fond of them too. They have to be amongst one of the easiest and most rewarding of small perennials to grow. Keeping an eye on the pH level and the general nutrition, together with a little trim to remove old flowers, is all they usually need.
As you will see from our website: grownbyoverdevest.com/
We currently grow over 48 sorts, and you can find out more about them here at this link: grownbyoverdevest.com/splant/?_sfm_genus=Dianthus
They won't all be stocked at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ at the same time, but if you go along and talk to your local plant experts at each of the centers, you should be able to explore the ones that they find do best in your neighborhood.
Thank you again for your nice comment, it is great to hear you are enjoying your little Garden Pinks (Dianthus) too.
I love our Pinks!!! Besides being pretty and smelling delicious, the deer done eat them!!! We used a few different varieties in a spilled pot garden.
That's great to hear, thank you for taking the trouble to let us know.
Deer browsing is such an unpredictable subject (what they eat in one garden, is sometimes left alone in an other), so having you let us all know about your experiences is very valuable.
Should you be contemplating adding to your displays, here's a link that will help you find the locations of all the partnering garden centers that stock our plants: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/

Absolutely with test kit. It's on my to do list from last season. I have a very troublesome area, directly over from the same soil area, but is Certainly missing its nutrients. Maybe someone put something into/onto soil before I moved in here, my guess 🤷♀️ Wish me well to get it straightened out! A raised bed would be ideal, Im sure of. Yes, those dogs sure were a barking too! 😄 Thanks, David 🌱💚
Thanks, glad to hear you found it useful. Improving our soil conditions is a constant and beneficial aim. Little by little wins the game. Good luck and thanks again for your kind comment.
I live in Las Vegas Nevada 🌃🎆 and I grow 🪴 Dianthus Classic ♥️ Red and they Grow Very Well. They Take the Summer 🌞 Heat "100+ temperature 🌡️" with No Problem and they don't mind the Low Water 💧 Restricted of not getting Water every day. Like You said they prefer it a little on the Dry side.
I Highly Recommend Dianthus Classic ♥️ Red for a little bit of Color in a Southwest Garden for a little Fragrance/a low Maintenance Show Stopper.
Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance,

Thanks for chipping in with your thoughts. It is good (and interesting) to hear you are having good results with Dianthus in your region.
Obviously, since our experience is based here in our region (Northeast & Mid-Atlantic States: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/) this is outside of our normal realm of activity, so it is interesting to hear that you are finding success with this selection (which incidentally we are not familiar with). Thanks for letting us all know.
@@OverdevestNurseries I find that unlike other Perennials 🌺 Dianthus Classic ♥️ Red is a tougher "Variety" then the "Newer Hybrids" it takes the "Hot🥵 Summer 🌞 temperature 🌡️ and the Cold 🥶 Night's & Dry Summer/Winter Winds🌬️🍃 with Not 🚫 a single problem. However I do have to be careful with not letting water 💦 get to close to the actual plant. Almost lost one due to "Rot"
I plan to add more of them to my Front Yard Garden. I add Gro Mulch to the Soil put a little bit of Espoma Blood Meal and Espoma Earth Worm🪱castings then I plant my Dianthus Classic ♥️ Red.
Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance,

What kind of slow release fertilizer you can recommend for dianthus, salvia, peony and all perennial flowering plants. Thanks in advance!
Any of the commercially available slow release options that are available at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ will work well. if in doubt, check with some of the experts at your local places and they'll be able to guide you.
To preserve our independence and not be tied or supported by any corporations, we do not name individual brand names, but at the garden centers they will be able to let you know about the ones that in their experience work best in your area.
We know David prefers using (mostly) 3-4 month formulations, because he is cautious not to "over feed" and cause rank, floppy or softer growth going into the winter. His objective is to stimulate growth at the beginning of the growing season and then sustain it through early summer, and then tailing off during the drier mid-summer and Fall periods.
He uses longer 4-6 month formulations on woody plants, but with perennials (like you mention) he finds this works best.

Do you need to deadhead to get flowers all season? If so, how do you go about it? Do you use hedge clippers? Thanks!! 😊
Thanks for asking an important question.
Most of the older, conventional varieties should be trimmed back to encourage new growth and possible rebloom. Besides that, we like to do it because it helps to keep the plants more compact, tidier and lusher looking (the foliage and evergreen mounding growth is really quite pretty).
You can do it, just as the flowers are fading and going over, and it can be done by snipping out individual stems (trimming them back to the tips of the foliage).
Or on a larger scale, whole plants can be trimmed with pruners or hedging shears (which is how I do it). In this video (also on this channel): ruclips.net/video/ynPGGejmaZM/видео.html (at the 6.0 minute mark) you will see why and how to do it.
There are of course many varieties, and some will bloom only once in early summer through to the start of mid-summer . Trimming them will help to make them look nicer, but except for possibly a a few flowers in early Autumn, there is unlikely to be much rebloom.
On the other hand, innovative plant breeders have been recently, creatively introducing us to exciting new "everblooming" ones that (in our trials) are almost continuous flowering. So much so, that they often present a dilemma of when to trim? The plants look like they could do with a trim, but they still have some flowers on them, most of the time!
So, as you will notice in the above video, I was trimming the plants when they had a high proportion of fading flowers, but I still had to "grab the nettle" and cut off some flowers to get the job done!
If you talk to your local experts at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ they will be able to provide extra guidance. Thanks for asking an important question and good luck with enjoying your little Garden Pinks (Dianthus).
Thank you so much for your thorough explanation to my question. I learn so much from your you tube channel. I will look for the everblooming varieties as well as the original long lasting flowering dianthus. Beautiful plant. 😊
Because they have blooms most of the season, I find it hard to cut back, then they become very leggy and kinda ugly. When is the best time to cut back and how far down do you cut them. Thanks for the tips.
We know that dilemma! It is often a challenge to know when to "bite on the iron" and trim them back. Here's a link to another of our videos that features the new everblooming types, where it is even more difficult to decide: ruclips.net/video/ynPGGejmaZM/видео.html
In this video , you will see how David determines the time is right... essentially after the first peak blooms begins to recede, and then if you watch through the rest of the video he demonstrates how to do it with shears.
Hope this helps.

Do you have to dead head these to keep getting more flowers?
Yes, that is important. It keeps looking nice and tidy but also of course stimulates repeat bloom.

When to cut back?
As you will here in this video (also featured here on our channel): ruclips.net/video/HWZmNbWKE6U/видео.html you can trim them back, just as the flowers are fading and going over. This can be done by snipping out individual stems, trimming them back to the tips of the foliage.
Or on a larger scale, whole plants can be trimmed with pruners or hedging shears (which is how I do it). In this video (also on this channel) ruclips.net/video/ynPGGejmaZM/видео.html (at the 6.0 minute mark) you will see why and how to do it.
@@OverdevestNurseries thank you, I don't know how I missed that part but will rewatch.
i read somewhere that dianthus are short lived- like only a few years, Is this true?
There are many types including the Sweet William types (Dianthus barbatus) which are of course, are usually biennials (living 2 years). The ones we grow and sell through our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are much longer lived. David says he has some of them in his garden that are now over 15 years old and they are still going strong! The key to good perennialization (with these sorts) is providing the right cultural conditions. So, if you are able to enact the points that David makes in this video, and other videos on this channel: ruclips.net/video/ynPGGejmaZM/видео.html you should enjoy having long lived, very colorful and delightfully fragrant garden pinks around your home for many years.
@@OverdevestNurseries thank you so much for the info!
David, “ everblooming” is really not synonymous with “ reblooming” is it?
You are exactly right, "ever" (or continuous flowering) means that they should (pretty much) keep on flowering all through the main growing season, whereas "rebloom" means that they will repeat bloom in spurts. In our trials, the EverBloom™ ones featured in this video (also posted here on our channel): ruclips.net/video/ynPGGejmaZM/видео.html consistently produced flowers from early summer through to the autumn. Quite remarkable.
