Hi I’m in zone 7 Virginia. That’s true sweet William are deer resistant . I have a big big area for wild flowers only. I bought 5 pounds of wild flowers from Eden brothers 3 years ago and sweet William blooms so beautiful. They reseed them self ( foxglove, deme’s rocket , larkspur, blanket flower, daisies, coreopsis and of course sweet William . Blooms in the spot so beautiful.

Sounds great! I love hearing from gardeners who actually deal with deer!

I live in Sulphur Springs and last summers heat plus this year freezes some of my dianthus from Lowes survived. This year with inflation they are $5 for a four inch pot, so I am attempting starting from seeds (pinks) with heat pad and grow light. Mine are in my front flower bed with slight slope and partial sun. Wish me luck!

Really awesome variety of dianthus colors you choose, I started my dianthus about a month ago and they all germinated well seeds from swallowtail, actually I had to thin them out because every single seed germinated. can’t wait to get them in the garden.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

That is awesome! I love it when everything germinates!

Enjoy your videos so much! I’m trying a sweet William variety for the first time this year-got my seeds at the dollar tree so a cheap experiment.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

That is awesome! They have great seeds!

@Olivia54984 6 месяцев назад

D. 'First Love' is an excellent choice. Seeded in January will bloom first year March through frost in zone 4/5. I have found rabbits love the buds on the low growers AND the 'Black Knight', although not the Sweet William variety.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Awesome! I’ll go look those up, thanks!

@marionnixon817 4 месяца назад

Really appreciate this video. Last spring I purchased 5-6 varieties of dianthus. Some tall, some medium and some short. Most came from Shades of Green but others were clearance. Unfortunately, I think I lost most of the tags. But I was amazed that they stayed green all winter! More worried about summer because when I tried these a few years ago, they didn’t survive but could have been an operator error. 🤣 Maybe too much sun and not enough water in that location at my other house.

@shesamadgardener 4 месяца назад

Mine definitely fade in the summer … I just make sure to keep them watered and the hit them with some fertilizer at the end of the summer.

I started Jolt Pink Magic from Swallowtail Seeds last Fall. All germinated and planted in my beds and looking great so far (the foliage at least). Even survived our freezing temps (Atlanta area). They of course have not bloomed yet so we will see..... Can't wait!!

I absolutely adore dainthus. I don’t know what variety I have but they have the silvery pointed style leaves and they look like tiny little carnations with an absolutely DIVINE aroma!! I have the standard garden center varieties also, and I like them; but the silver leaf one with the fragrant blooms are my absolute favorites! Please do show us how to divide these asap. Pretty please!

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Ooo, I want some that are silver!

@mhubertcfi 6 месяцев назад

My sweet Williams totally madew wait a year to see them but worth it. Love the dark cherry variety. I do think all of the black and white are the same but have seen it called different names. I've been growing some things as a kind of 'savings' for stock to sell in retirement and those would probably be a good one❤

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Love that you are selling seeds in retirement! That is so cool!

@mhubertcfi 6 месяцев назад

Selling plants. Planting them now is like my savings account

I find dianthus (low mounding pink carnations variety) is very drought tolerant once established. I do have to deadhead tho to keep them looking nice :)

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Definitely! Dead heading helps a ton!

@fishcats1 6 месяцев назад

Well deer ate the blooms off all three of my dianthus last year.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Well crap … I had some say it was deer resistant but obviously not every variety from what you are saying.

@jsunshinejull Месяц назад

Zone 7b/8a NC here. We have huge deer pressure, and carnations are one of the few crops they've never damaged on my farm. So I'd say they are resistant, but not repellent or anything like that. But they're also not the healthiest plants and I'm still trying to work out why...

@shesamadgardener Месяц назад

That’s good to know! I do struggle with crown rot on some of my dianthus.

@vickijackson9115 6 месяцев назад

Hi. Question. Do you direct sow outside in your Beds or Pots? I don’t have the area at this time to start seeds. Thank you for sharing and replying to our comments.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Right now I only sow inside but once the last frost in my area passes, I will begin sowing directly outside. If you don’t have much room inside, look up winter sowing on RU-vid … you can starts lots of seeds outside right now with winter sowing techniques.

@michellefrance1165 6 месяцев назад

Pretty varieties, dianthus is very hit or miss for me lol probably user error! Can't wait to see how you will layer your crops something I need to do as well. I can't remember are you doing any nasturtium? I haven't been able to find any varieties I like yet 😢 have a great weekend!

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Yes I’m actually starting nasturtiums next week, I’ll post about them!

@serenamarie6144 6 месяцев назад

In your intro around the :32 mark you have a beautiful purple cup-like flower in the middle of your bouquet. What kind of flower is that and do you remember where you purchased it/or the seed? Thanks!!

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

It’s Canterbury bells! You can get the seeds almost anywhere … it’s also known as campanula … they are best sown in the fall as they are biennials.

@nadyalyzhnikova 4 месяца назад

I am beginner so excuse my silly questions but how should I proceed? How often should I water and in what way: spray or the way you feed before putting seeds into soil? When should I open humidity don? Thanks ahead!

@shesamadgardener 4 месяца назад

You should water before the soil becomes dry to the touch … I prefer to water from below and allow the soil to suck up the water.

@shesamadgardener 4 месяца назад

Humidity dome should come off as soon as 50-60% of your seeds have germinated.

@nadyalyzhnikova 4 месяца назад

@@shesamadgardener thank you so much! Should I open hols in the top before I take dome off complitly? And how should I check the soil? By finger touch?

@okiejes55 6 месяцев назад

When do we pinch the seedlings? I’m always confused about the the true set of leaves

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

I’ll try to do a tutorial on pinching. The first set of leaves you see will be the seed leaves … all leaves after that are true leaves … it’s best to pinch above 2 sets of true leaves.

@okiejes55 6 месяцев назад

Thank you!!!

@graces128 6 месяцев назад

I've found my dianthus seedlings to be quite foppy and weak as seedlings. It's happened 2 years in a row now...I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Hmm, that could be a couple of things … light is too far away and they get leggy, but o much fertilizer, or too much water.

@seeingthesitzes4333 6 месяцев назад

I tried your dry packing method and I couldn’t get the soil to moisten all the way through. I checked on them before going to bed and they were still floating. I placed them on top of each other to push the little trays down but the next morning they were still floating. So I tried popping a hole in the side of one whole tray. Hours later, still floating. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

Were you using seed starting mix or potting soil? It only works with potting soil.

@karenschrantz2307 6 месяцев назад

I love the look, but I’m hesitant because the only person I know that has these they just look ratty for most of the season

@shesamadgardener 6 месяцев назад

I really think it depends on the variety that you choose.

@TrixieJFerguson 6 месяцев назад

Dianthus do require a little more maintenance. If you want consistent blooms, they have to be deadheaded. The foliage usually stays lush and green year around though. A little bit of fertilizer on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule is also helpful.
