Dianthus ‘Wicked Witch’
Border Pinks |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.180.680
A selection of the Border Pinks, a group of Dianthus that are a traditional favourite for planting in rock gardens or using as a border edging. This outstanding variety forms a low cushion of grassy blue-grey foliage, with an early-summer display of fragrant single cherry-red blooms. Shear plants back lightly after blooming to maintain a tight, compact habit. Plants require good drainage and are an excellent choice for hot dry sites or gravelly soils. Combines beautifully with other low alpine plants. Attractive to butterflies. Evergreen. Discovered at Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina, as a sport of ‘Feuerhexe’ (Firewitch). Originally introduced under the name ‘Red Devil’. USPP#19824: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
