Dianthus Dart 'Pink Magician'

A charming Dianthus that brings masses of beautifully formed blooms in shades of white, pale pink and rich pink. In Cape Town, it typically flowers from spring through autumn, approximately September to May, providing a long-lasting display of colour. The fragrant flowers are held above neat, compact foliage, making this versatile variety ideal for borders, containers, rockeries, cottage gardens and cutting displays. Best grown in full sun and well-drained soil, it is a colourful, easy-care choice for sunny gardens.

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 lightly during active growth, particularly when grown in containers. Remove spent flowers to encourage further flowering and trim lightly after the main flowering period to maintain a neat shape.
