About the Dianthus -
Fancy Knickers :
The Dianthus 'Fancy Knickers', Dianthus Hybrid,
has elegant white flowers with just a touch of red
in the center. Their very compact habit and free
blooming nature make the 'Fancy Knickers' Dianthus a
stand out both in container gardens and perennial
borders. Dianthus will bloom from mid summer to
early fall. In order for a longer bloom time,
deadhead the blooms continuously throughout the
summer.
Dianthus needs a sunny site with well-drained
soil, but will tolerate some shade in the afternoon
and humidity. These fragrant, spicy dove like
flowers look wonderful as a border plant, rock
gardens, along walks or paths and for edgeing - a
very pretty plant.
