dianthus?

Hi. I am a very new gardener, and am wondering if dianthus will continue to bloom all summer? Thank you.

I have had great success with dianthus which blooms most of the year. Mine is planted in clumps in part shade (gets the morning sun) of 6 or 7 plants in the front of the bed where it makes a colourful show

What kind of dianthus is it, exactly?

I have dianthus "Bath's Pink" that blooms only in the late spring or early summer (just finished blooming).

Other varieties may bloom more continuously. Some are biennial. Some are perennial.

Thank you for your help. I got it at the Big Orange Box, and all it said was Dianthus. From pictures, it looks like Telstar. It's still blooming, but not as much as a few weeks ago.

I have had luck with "Firepower" dianthus reblooming in the fall after deadheading. I also like the deeper color.

Can or should perrenial dianthus be divided, by any chance?
