How to care for a firewitch dianthus plant?

Hello - any idea why this plant only produces 4/5 blooms at a time?
I have seen pictures of the whole plant filled with flowers. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance,
Asha

    Do you feed them with Miracle-Gro? Do they get enough sun?

      Enough sun- yes. Do I feed them with Miracle Grow . No. I guess I will do it now. Sorry about my late response. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Asha

    They like to have sunny locations. One thing I noticed in your pictures is you have wood mulch around them, maybe getting too much water held around them. They do not like that.

    For more blooms to produce you must deadhead them. All energy is going back to the dead flowers.

    Maybe try dividing the plants? Mine are filled with blossoms and I divided them last year.

    They are not blooming at present. Mine bloom in late spring. I am not at my home where they are planted until Next month.
