Super Parfait™ Strawberry Dianthus

Super Parfait™ Strawberry is a compact F1 dianthus with rounded, branching growth and large red bicolor flowers. Syngenta lists this color variety at 6–8 inches tall by 8–10 inches wide, in full sun, with mid-spring flowering. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70002706) ## Garden Placement Use this low mound at the front of seasonal beds, along a sunny path, or in containers where its patterned flowers can be seen close up. Its compact size suits window boxes and mixed annual displays; leave room around the crown for air movement. ## Growing Conditions Chinese pinks are usually grown as annuals, even though the species can be a short-lived perennial or biennial. They flower best in average, well-drained soil with dry-to-medium moisture and can benefit from afternoon shade where summer heat is intense. Poor drainage can contribute to crown rot or rust, while deep shade can reduce flowering. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/dianthus-chinensis/common-name/chinese-pink/) ## Maintenance Water consistently after planting, then allow excess moisture to drain rather than keeping the root zone wet. Deadhead and trim after a heavy bloom flush to encourage more flowers. In hot, humid climates, treat the plant as seasonal color and replace it when heat shortens its display.
