They benefit from a summer shear just after they have finished blooming in early summer. This will encourage them to rebloom again in early autumn.

Dianthus Fruit Punch® Series from Proven Winners® share these wonderful garden traits: semi to fully double, fragrant flowers, and good heat and humidity tolerance. Flowers appear in early summer, and a quick shearing after flowering will encourage them to rebloom in early fall! Black cherry frost produces loads of semi-double, velvety red flowers (1¼) with near white, serrated edge atop a low mound of silvery blue foliage. Next is 'Maraschino red' which delivers with 1¼-1½” wide cherry red flowers and dark burgundy eye. The silvery blue, spiky leaves are a nice contrast to all the green foliage plants in your garden. The foliage looks great all season long too, and it won't get tired in the heat of summer. Enjoy these fluffy double red flowers with deeply fringed petals and we can't forget their sweet fragrance! Finally, 'Classic Coral' is the long awaited missing color of the Fruit Punch® Series. This classic and cheerful perennial produces fragrant, double coral pink blossoms atop a tight, compact mound of blue-green foliage. It has that ever so elusive and striking coral pink color not often found in the family of dianthus. These are the perfect perennial for edging a sunny borders, pathway, or simply sited at the fronside of your perennial gardens. They also add the perfect touch and charm to any combination container.
