Dianthus Baby Doll Mix (Garden Festival)

Dianthus Baby Doll, also known as Sweet William, is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It is a popular garden plant in India and is typically grown as an annual.

In India, the ideal growing season for Dianthus Baby Doll is during the cool and dry winter months, from October to February. During this time, temperatures are mild and the weather is less humid, which is ideal for the growth of Dianthus Baby Doll.

Dianthus Baby Doll grows best in a well-draining soil mix, in a location that receives full sun exposure. It's important to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and to deadhead the spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooming.

In hotter regions of India, Dianthus Baby Doll may struggle to grow during the summer season due to high temperatures and humidity. It's important to provide some shade during the hottest part of the day and to avoid overwatering during this time.
