Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

About the Product

Goody Gumdrops is a low dianthus with semi-double, fuchsia pink flowers marked by a red eye, held above blue-green leaves.

The semi-evergreen foliage stays attractive most of the year, and the clove-scented flowers are fine for small bouquets. The main flush comes in early summer; shear the plant lightly afterward and it will flower again in early fall. It is right at home edging a sunny border, in rock gardens and in mixed containers.

What it looks like

A low, dense mound about 8 to 10 inches tall and 16 to 18 inches wide of grassy foliage. Leaves are narrow, linear and pointed, 1 to 3 inches long, blue-green with a smooth, waxy surface. Semi-double flowers about 1 inch across have toothed fuchsia pink petals with a red ring around the center. Flowers are held on short, straight stems a few inches above the leaves. At peak bloom the foliage mound is almost hidden under a dense layer of flowers.

Growing it with lavender

It enjoys lavender's sun and lean, well-drained soil, and its fuchsia flowers make a bright edging alongside lavender.

Care

Plant in full sun to light part shade in average, well-drained soil; it tolerates dry spells and dislikes wet, heavy soil, especially in winter. Hardy in zones 4-9. Shear the plant back lightly after the early-summer flush to encourage a second round of flowers in early fall.

How to grow Goody Gumdrops

Pinks (Dianthus) · Dianthus

Give pinks full sun and lean, gritty, fast-draining soil. Keep mulch away from the crown, shear after bloom, and they'll reward you with fragrant flowers and silvery foliage.

Huckleberry saysTell me where you grow and I’ll check if Goody Gumdrops will thrive there.

or pick your zone

Hardy in zones 4a–9b

Spring after hard frost, or late summer to early fall.

When it arrives

Your plug tray

Plugs are small and tender. Pot into 4-inch pots and grow on 3–5 weeks in bright light, or plant out after frost. Keep evenly moist, harden off a week, and set the plug top level with the soil.

When to plant

Spring after hard frost, or late summer to early fall.

How deep

Set the crown exactly level with the soil; never bury the stems.

Spacing

8–12 inches for most border pinks.

Soil

Sandy, gravelly or loam · pH 6.5–8.0

Fix-it tip: Wet crowns rot. Mix grit or pea gravel into clay, plant on a slight mound, and use gravel mulch, not bark. Pinks prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil; add lime only if a soil test shows acid soil.

Sun

Full sun (tolerates light afternoon shade in hot climates).

Less than 6 hours of sun means sparse blooms and open, floppy mats.

Don’t give up on it

Is it alive? What spring looks like

Most keep blue-gray or green evergreen tufts through winter, so they never look fully dormant. Some leaves may look brown in early spring; new growth starts as soon as soil thaws. Main bloom is late spring to early summer.
