Description
Dianthus Vivid Bright Light is a sensational hybrid variety of carnation, particularly floriferous, reliable, and disease-resistant. The compact plant forms a blue-green cushion that disappears under a multitude of small, fragrant bright pink flowers. This show is renewed from spring to autumn if one takes care to prune the faded flowers between each wave of blooms. Decorative even in winter, this perennial is perfect for embellishing rockeries or borders, especially with small alpine Phlox. It is also very pretty in pots.
Carnation Vivid Bright Light belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family, like all carnations. It is a recent cultivar from South Korea. The growth of this carnation is moderately fast. Its adult size will not exceed 25 cm (10in) in height with a spread of approximately 35 cm (14in). This plant forms a small compact cushion-like clump. Its linear, pointed, leathery, evergreen leaves are a bluish-greyish green. Flowering is renewed from May-June until October, if the soil is not too dry in July-August. In the case of prolonged drought, it withers and regrows when the rains return. The plant is then covered with small, fragrant, 1 to 2 cm (1in) bright pink flowers with toothed petals, carried at the top of stiff stems. It is resistant to cold and tolerates limestone very well. Note that Vivid Bright Light is also resistant to diseases such as rust and powdery mildew.
Dianthus Vivid Bright Light is an excellent plant for slopes and rockeries. It can be accompanied by other flowering cushions such as sun roses, Spanish daisies, aubrietas, bellflowers, Caucasus rock cress, Erigeron karvinskianus, and bloody cranesbill Geranium sanguineum. This plant forms a lovely filler between the stones of a wall or paving, and works well in a container. It adapts very well to pot cultivation.

Planting and care
Dianthus Vivid Bright Light isshould be planted from October to March in a very well-draining, rather poor soil, in full sun. This variety prefers soils with a tendency towards limestone and it withstands summer drought well. However, in the case of a very dry and very hot summer, additional waterings will be appreciated to support the flowering. In heavy soil or in excessively humid regions, mix compost, sand, and gravel with your garden soil and plant on a mound. Don't forget to place gravel at the bottom of the planting hole for good drainage. Remove faded flowers as they appear to encourage new flowers. Apply fertilizer in spring. Watch out for slugs and avoid waterlogged soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
