Does anyone here have a Dianthus 'Pixie' and, if so, do you stake it up? I just picked up 2 and they are falling over. From what I have read online I need to keep the base open for air circulation so the stems do not rot. However, if I don't mound it up with mulch or rocks it tends to fall over in a couple different directions. I planted it as it was growing in the pot with the crown at ground level.

I'm wondering if after a few days it will perk up or if I need to do something different.

Thanks,

Jim
