This dianthus is an easy care plant for hot sunny spots and will tolerate poorer soil. It flowers profusely looking rather like a cherry red carpet with its many small flowers. It forms a low slow-spreading mat and can be trimmed back lightly after the first flush of spring flowers to encourage further flowering during summer. It makes an excellent container plant.
