Super Parfait™ Red Peppermint Dianthus

Super Parfait™ Red Peppermint is an upright Chinese pink with large, showy bicolored flowers and the vigorous branching habit shared by the series. It flowers from mid-spring into summer and stays compact enough for the front of a seasonal bed or a repeated group in a mixed annual border. ## Appearance and placement Syngenta lists this exact selection under the Red Peppermint name, with a garden size of about 6–8 inches tall by 8–10 inches wide. The product page identifies the flowers as bicolored and lists sun or shade as the exposure range.

Provide sun in mild climates and some afternoon shade in hotter weather, and avoid a site where water pools around the roots.

Clear away deteriorating foliage and preserve good drainage around the crown.
