Dianthus ‘Firewitch’
A compact and colorful perennial with intensely fragrant, magenta‑pink blooms and silvery blue foliage.
Dianthus ‘Firewitch’ is a garden classic known for its vivid color and sweet, clove‑like fragrance. In late spring to early summer, a flush of brilliant magenta flowers blankets its low, mounding silver foliage. This variety reblooms lightly through summer if trimmed after the first flush. Excellent for sunny edges, borders, and rock gardens, ‘Firewitch’ adds a burst of evergreen texture and color to the landscape.
