Dianthus Firewitch


Border Pinks

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.180.520


(='Feuerhexe') A selection of the Border Pinks, a group of Dianthus that are a favourite for planting in rock gardens or using as a border edging. This outstanding variety forms a low clump of grassy blue-grey foliage, with a long summer display of fragrant single magenta-pink 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. Selected as the 2006 PERENNIAL PLANT of the YEAR.
