Dianthus Firewitch
Among the most fragrant and profuse bloomers in the Dianthus genus, ‘Firewitch’ is a delightful and popular hybrid belonging to the Cheddar pinks species, D. gratianopolitanus.
A low-growing cultivar with small, rosy-pink flowers and an aromatic, spicy fragrance of cloves, the flowers rise on slim stems from dense mats of silvery, blue-green foliage.
A true charmer, these long-lasting pinks are a must-have for borders, raised beds, containers, rockeries, and cottage gardens. And they make an appealing ground cover, flowering over summer and remaining evergreen for winter.
This award-winning hybrid is easily cultivated, cold hardy, and among the most heat- and humidity-tolerant of all dianthus cultivars.
It also has a long flowering season, providing a prolific display from late spring into early summer. Regular deadheading produces sporadic flowering over the summer with a second, lighter rebloom in late summer or early fall.
Plus, bees and butterflies love the open-faced flowers, but deer leave it alone.
Color, perfume, and a long, easy season… ‘Firewitch’ has it all!
