Hello,
This year I bought the 'Dianthus Crimson Rim' from T&M (I have it as my display piccie) since getting it I haven't really had any issues and it has put on good growth in some tall planters sprawling all around with blooms 
However the plants have now started yellowing at the base, and I'm not sure what to do, I am tempted to cut back, what would you recommend?

We've had a fair bit of rain over the past couple of weeks so I haven't been watering it. I shall keep an eye on them.
Mine often get a bit yellow at this time of year and through the winter because of heavy rain. As long as they're in good gritty soil and not sitting in wet conditions long term, they recover. As mine are all in pots I sometimes move them into the shelter of the house if there's prolonged rain...if I remember
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
