Dianthus 'Jolt Cherry'

Bring a burst of vivid colour to the garden with Jolt Cherry, an upright, well-branched Dianthus covered in masses of brilliant cherry-red flowers. In Cape Town, it typically flowers from spring through autumn, approximately September to May, with particularly strong colour during the warmer months. Its strong stems and upright habit make it excellent for sunny borders, containers and cut-flower displays, while its heat-tolerant nature makes it a reliable performer through Cape Town's dry summers. Best planted in full sun and well-drained soil.
