Dynasty Mixture Dianthus

Dianthus Dynasty Mixture is a named mixed selection in PanAmerican Seed’s Dynasty series of interspecific double-flowered dianthus. The series is valued for upright, strong stems and a long garden display that can also supply backyard cut flowers. [PanAmerican Seed’s Dynasty Mixture page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/022500476003332/dianthus-dynasty-mixture/) and its [series catalog](https://catalog.panamseed.com/view/445948364/47/) identify the selection and its shared garden profile. ## Garden use and size Dynasty plants are listed at 16–20 inches tall and about 10 inches wide, with an upright, well-branched habit. The compact footprint works along the front or middle of a sunny border and in repeated groupings; sturdy flowering stems are also useful in a cutting garden. The breeder lists full sun and USDA zones 6a–9b for the series. ## Growing conditions For related Dianthus barbatus garden culture, [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/dianthus-barbatus/common-name/sweet-william/) recommends sun and well-drained soil, and cautions against persistently wet conditions. The mixture keeps the series’ mixed-color identity; its exact shade balance can vary by seed selection. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and avoid leaving the crown in waterlogged soil. Remove faded flower stems for a neater display, or harvest stems for arrangements as flowers open.
