Diantanthus Pink Kisses in a garden. Pink Kisses is a fantastic little plant, producing hundreds of lovely clove-scented flowers a very year. The blooming is incredible, they just come repeatedly and cover the entire plant. The list of toxic plants available from the Animal Poison Control Center and the ASPCA does list Dianthus caryophyllus as a plant that is toxic to cats. Bees and birds are attracted to sunflowers, as are squirrels and other animals. Sunflowers are easily grown from seed, but chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels and mice will eat the seeds you have planted, or the seedling itself if you don`t protect it in some way. Pinch off the spent flowers as they fade and wilt. Remove the old flower head above the topmost set of leaves to prevent the formation of seeds, which helps improve the chances of the dianthus reblooming. Cut back mounding dianthus varieties after the first flush of flowering completes in early summer. Intro: Dianthus flowers are perfect for plant containers and will bring a splash of colour to any urban balcony garden. ...
