pink

Pink (Dianthus pavonius 'Nancy Lindsay') should be watered whenever the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Water the plant thoroughly, so that the water reaches the roots and drains out from the bottom of the pot. Watering deeply is important, as shallow watering can lead to weak or shallow roots. During the summer months, water more frequently to keep the soil evenly moist. During the winter months, water less often, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings.

Pink (Dianthus pavonius 'Nancy Lindsay') plants prefer full sun, which is 6 or more hours of direct sunlight each day. These plants will flower best in full sun if grown in the right environment. The plants will continue to bloom throughout the summer months when they receive the right amount of sunlight. When the days become shorter in the late summer/early autumn months, the flowers may start to fade and the plant will slow down in growth. In this case, it is best to move the plants to a location that provides the amount of light that they require. For best results, try to keep them in a south-facing spot, where the sun is most direct and the longest lasting.

Hardiness zone 5–8.

For the plant species called Pink (Dianthus pavonius 'Nancy Lindsay'), pruning should be done twice a year--once in the spring and once in the fall--to encourage healthy growth. In the spring, prune the plant back by 1-third to remove weak, damaged, or diseased limbs and encourage new growth. In the fall, prune the plant to maintain its desired size and shape, as well as to remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning should be done with clean pruning shears and gently removing only the parts of the plant that need to be removed.
