Dianthus ‘Ideal Select™ White Fire’

Fiery magenta radiates out into the white 

We’ve added a new color to our line of Ideal Select dianthus for early spring: ‘White Fire’. Notice the pretty mottling on these lacy-edged flowers, with the bright magenta centers radiating out into the white. It’s a cool effect—kind of like a bouquet of little pinwheels.

Ideal Select is one of our favorite series for providing brilliant color even under tough conditions. These dianthus prefer the cooler weather of early spring but are both heat and drought tolerant as well. You might recall that we plant them when we plant pansies for the best flowering performance.

‘White Fire’ looks striking planted en masse in a sunny area of the landscape. It also adds charm and visual interest to containers and rock gardens. We find that deadheading keeps the pretty blooms coming.

 This variety is available in the 1203 flat.
