Dianthus Interspecific Supra Pink F1

2017 AAS Flower Winner

Supra Pink joins its sister, 2006 AAS Winner Supra Purple, to give us two fantastic colors in an easy-to-grow interspecific dianthus for three-season (spring, summer, fall) garden color. This compact, bushy plant blooms prolifically with novel mottled pink flowers sporting frilly petal edges that hold up even in summer heat and drought. No deadheading needed on this winner. One judge attempted to deadhead this entry but it re-bloomed too fast to do so! Supra Pink grows to just under a foot in height but is a vigorous grower and will deliver fancy, clear pink flowers for a long time as observed over and over by the AAS Judges. Supra Pink was tested as an annual and won the award based on first-year performance, but similar to other dianthus, it may overwinter in some regions.

HOW TO GROW

Dianthus Supra Pink will do best in a porous, well-draining soil that is high in organic matter, like compost or peat. Garden location should be in full sun to partial shade – they will survive and flower in shade, but not as well as when in more sun. As they flower, it is a good idea to dead-head, or remove spent flowers to prevent seed formation and encourage more flowers faster. In very cold winter areas, it may be helpful to provide a layer of mulch around the plant to help it survive the cold.
