Dianthus Oscar White & Red

The Dianthus Oscar in colour White & Red is part of the Superb Series of pot carnations, known for their uniform growth habit across all colours and their reliable performance. This standout variety features vivid red petals edged with a clean white border, creating a crisp and striking display. 

Perfect for mixed patio containers, window boxes, and decorative planters, these compact plants bring instant colour, structure, and depth. Their naturally neat, mounded shape keeps them looking attractive throughout the season, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

This dianthus performs best in full sun, where it will produce abundant blooms. Water regularly while avoiding waterlogging, allowing the top layer of compost to dry slightly between waterings. Feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks encourages continuous flowering. Removing faded blooms keeps the plant tidy and promotes fresh growth. A sheltered outdoor position—such as a balcony, patio, or windowsill—helps them thrive.

Dianthus Oscar in White & Red pairs beautifully with gold or silver ivy which adds texture and depth. It also looks wonderful alongside other Superb Series dianthus varieties in pink, purple, or coral tones for bright, coordinated mixed containers.

Whether used alone for a clean, elegant display or combined with other varieties for a layered, colourful arrangement, Dianthus Oscar in White & Red provides reliable charm and vibrant seasonal colour.
