1.5.3 Enfoque de madrugones
If you can provide an environment with sharp drainage, sandy soil, full sun, and somewhat alka-line soil, by all means try the larger-fl owered, taller, grayer forms of dianthus—most folks are drawn to these big ones, which do not like acidic soil or cold, wet winters. These taller forms may need support and look fl oppy to sloppy, since it is hard to stake them discreetly; you might try growing them in containers. Otherwise, grow the lovely, subtle small forms. Best used as short-lived perennials allowed to fl op and crawl about at the edge of a border or over a wall.
~ Carrie Becker
Scientifi c Name: From the Greek di (“two”; also the name for Zeus or Jove) and anthos (“fl ower”).
Common Name: Carnation, pink.
Origin: Europe, Asia, Great Britain.
Preferred Conditions: Slightly alkaline but will do fi ne in neutral or mildly acidic. Well-drained, moisture-retentive, sandy or gritty soil. Drought tolerant. Does not like heavy soil, especially in winter wet. Keep away from soggy soil, rabbits, and drying wind especially in the spring.
Light: Sun.

Management: Likes a dressing of bonemeal in early spring. Add limestone to raise the alka-linity. Deadhead for neatness and to keep the modern cultivars blooming through summer and into fall. Some may need support. Propagate every two or three years to replace losses.
Propagation: Seed, stem cuttings in the summer after blooming. Stems lie on the ground and can be layered to form roots for division.
Pests and Diseases: Slugs, snails, crown root, rust, fungal diseases, squirrels, rabbits, deer, cutworms, aphids, spider mites. Watch for slugs hiding under the foliage.
Companions: Stachys byzantina, roses, Erigeron karvinskianus, diascia, and other over-the-wall fl oppers.
Notes: Most dianthus will spread more than we list over time, but the centers may go bare.
The best dianthus forms for the Northwest are smaller in habit, usually green (sometimes gray-foliaged), and smaller fl owered.
