| Where can I purchase. mini dianthus? I lost all of them over the winter. I make hypertufa pots and they do well in them. The ones I had were only 6" tall. Any help will be appreciated. Dahlia6 |

| mail order ... but you will have to come up with the name of what you want... including the latin parts.. if you really want specific plants... a start is at the link ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: link

| I simply went to Wallymart, & found some $1 pkt 'Arctic Fire' (deltoides?) , 2 for 1 sale..& used to have 'Fire Witch' that I simply adored, but found a pkt. of some called 'Brilliancy' or something to that effect, which seems to be on the rather short side. Allwood's x alpinus may be a good choice, if you can locate it. I think it is better to grow these by seeds & that way, they aren't growing potted, in peat moss, & then planted in normal soilless mix, in a larger pot , or transplanted into the ground, in the typical usual dirt...as they seem to prefer rather poor soils any way & even to begin with, using sterile mix with perlite, can easily succumb to overwatering or too much rainfall. |

| For me both Brilliancy and Allwoods are all taller than dahlia's six inches. Firewitch is that height, but seeds of D. gratianopolous (which I think is what Firewitch is) are probably available like the others. Having a latin name of a kind you want is good thing. The cultivar name like Firewitch or Bath's pink or Tiny Rubies is good too. I think Arctic Fire is D. deltoides, which, looking it up, is also short. So those kinds of seeds would also be good to look for. |
