Dianthus 'Jolt Purple'

Bring bold colour to the garden with Jolt Purple, a upright Dianthus covered in vivid purple blooms. In Cape Town, it typically flowers from spring through autumn, approximately September to May, with particularly strong colour during the warmer months. Its well-branched habit and strong stems make it ideal for sunny borders, containers, mass plantings and cut-flower displays.

Why You'll Love It:

• Vivid purple flowers make a bold statement.
• Long flowering season from spring through autumn.
• Strong, upright and well-branched growth habit.
• Highly heat tolerant and suited to sunny gardens.
• Excellent for containers, borders, mass planting and cut flowers.

Plant & Care

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings rather than keeping it constantly wet. Feed during active growth according to the fertiliser label, particularly when grown in containers. Remove spent flower heads if desired to keep plants tidy, although this cultivar is bred to continue flowering without setting seed. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a neat shape if needed.
