Dianthus Oscar

The Dianthus Oscar is a Deep Pink and is a standout member of the Superb Series of pot carnations, recognised for its consistent, uniform habit and strong garden performance. This variety produces rich, velvety deep-pink blooms that create an intense burst of colour, making it an ideal choice for brightening any outdoor space.

Compact, tidy, and naturally well-shaped, it fits perfectly into mixed patio containers, window boxes, and decorative pots. It also sits beautifully in garden borders, where its vibrant colour and neat habit add structure and long-lasting interest among other flowering plants. The depth of its pink petals creates a bold accent wherever it is planted.

This dianthus thrives in full sun, rewarding gardeners with abundant flowering. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, allowing the top surface to dry slightly between watering sessions. Feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser every couple of weeks supports continuous blooms, while removing faded flowers keeps the plant tidy and encourages fresh growth. It performs exceptionally well also in outdoor spots such as balconies and patios.

Dianthus Oscar (Deep Pink) pairs beautifully with trailing plants like ivy or campanula, which soften the display and highlight its vivid colouring. It also blends wonderfully with other Superb Series dianthus in softer pinks, reds, or white-edged varieties to create depth and harmony in mixed plantings.

Whether used as a striking standalone feature, added to a colourful border, or combined with other varieties for a layered container display, Dianthus Oscar delivers reliable charm and a rich splash of vibrant seasonal colour.
