Coronet™ Strawberry Dianthus

Coronet™ Strawberry is a coral- and salmon-toned Dianthus chinensis selection with variable flower patterns. PanAmerican describes solid coral blooms, coral bicolors, and darker coral picotee markings against lighter backgrounds, on a compact, mounded plant ([selection profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/022509158005325/dianthus-coronet-strawberry/)). Its listing gives sunny exposure, an 8–10 inch height and spread, and flowering from early spring through autumn ([2026–2027 series catalog](https://catalog.panamseed.com/view/445948364/48/)). ## Garden Use Plant it in a sunny seasonal bed or patio container where its changing coral patterns can be seen close up. The low, rounded habit also works in repeated groups or near the front of a mixed planting. ## Growing Conditions PanAmerican identifies this selection as Dianthus chinensis and lists a mounded, upright habit. The Coronet series performs best in cool weather; local temperatures influence flowering time and pattern intensity. The breeder lists flowers around 2–3 inches across. ## Maintenance Remove spent blooms when you want to keep the display tidy. Check container soil regularly during dry or windy weather and water according to local conditions and drainage.
