Dianthus 'Firewitch'
Dianthus 'Firewitch.' Photographed by Michelle Margroff. Copyright 2002. All rights reserved.
Dianthus 'Firewitch' is a new addition to the curators garden. Enough four inch pots were purchased so we can create a large mat of plants. This form is supposed to flower for quite a few months. We will see if that is the case. The dianthus were planted with alfalfa pellets, which we use as a slow release fertilizer. Other than that the plants won't be fertilized. Over the years we found that heavily fed dianthus have a tendency to end up with gaps. Our desire is to have a large steely blue "pool" of foliage.
