Planting fragrant dianthus near paths

1. Site scent where you sit. Paths, seating, and door edges — fragrance wasted at the back of a deep border.
2. Match the habit. Low cheddar and garden pinks at ankle height; taller carnations such as King of the Blacks where stems have room.
3. Keep drainage sharp. Scent does not invent a new care method — soggy crowns still fail.
4. Divide when woody. Dividing Dianthus keeps fragrant mats vigorous without inventing a second care pillar.
