It always seems a bit strange to me that no one is interested in buying dianthus seedlings in the spring when offered for sale in the greenhouse. "Where should they be planted?" 'Will the plants come back every spring?" "I think I'll stick to petunias because I know they bloom all season long," are some of the remarks made when gardeners look at the seedlings. It is an entirely different story though when they see dianthus in bloom in the Chapel Gardens. "They're lovely! I hope you'll have some plants for me next spring," or "I didn't know pinks would bloom all summer long-are they a new kind?" Most dianthus start blooming a few weeks after sowing and never stop blooming all summer. There are so many bright and beautiful varieties in both fflcommotion continued.
